The Nash Ensemble - Tchaikovsky & Korngold: String Sextets (CD)

The teenage Korngold possessed a compositional fluency and maturity which belied his youth. In contrast, Tchaikovsky feared-wholly unjustifiably-his own creative powers to be on the wane when writing "Souvenir de Florence". The Nash Ensemble brings passion and conviction to both.
