Since its first concert in January 1983, the Schubert Ensemble has become widely recognised as one of the world’s leading exponents of music for piano and strings. The ensemble has performed in over 40 different countries, has over 80 commissions to its name, has recorded over 30 critically acclaimed CDs and is familiar to British audiences through regular broadcasts on BBC Radio 3.
Their Dvořák recording and the most recent of their two Enescu discs were chosen as ‘CD of the month’ by the BBC Music Magazine, which has also given them a double 5-star review for their recording of piano quartets by Chausson and Saint-Saëns.
“The Schubert Ensemble of London are a marvellously unified ensemble, imparting their energy and lyricism to anything to which they turn their expert hands. ” – Classic FM Magazine
