Borodin- String Sextet- Glazunov- String Quintet

After a highly acclaimed series of Brahms chamber music releases for Onyx, Britain's preeminent chamber group the Nash Ensemble turns their attention to 19th-century Russian repertoire. Glazunov's superbly crafted String Quintet of 1891 is coupled with Arensky's two-cello second String Quartet, and Borodin's unfinished Sextet for strings, written, according to the composer, in Mendelssohnian style 'to please the Germans' while he was in Heidelberg.
