Former members of the Vanbrugh Quartet Keith Pascoe, Simon Aspell and

Their programme includes a rarely heard Boccherini quintet, a string quintet by Charles Stanford and Dvorak's sublime string sextet VANBRUGH & FRIENDS Keith Pascoe, violin Maria Gaynor, violin Simon Aspell, viola Ed Creedon, viola Christopher Marwood, cello Maria O'Connor, cello. Boccherini - String Quintet in E major G.402
11802]Stanford - String Quintet in F major Op.85
[1903]Dvorák - String Sextet in A major Op.48 [1878]
The very last of well over one hundred string quintets written by the prolific virtuoso cellist Luigi Boccherini, this charming work is characteristically refined and elegant. Dublin born
Charles Villiers Stanford was a significant figure in musical life in the late 19th and early 20th century, influential as composer, teacher and conductor.
His cheerful and uplifting F
major string quintet was recorded by the Vanbrugh Quartet and Garth Knox in 2004 and features a lovely central slow movement inspired by sean-nós singing Dvorák’s A major string sextet is truly one of the treasures and great joys of all chamber music.
Its gentle optimism offers a precious contrast to the difficulties and
complexities of our modern world. Highly recommended!
