Shouldn't Really Include This One But.....

....it's a free cd sampler that came with a magazine ( not like the complete works BBC music mag freebies ). But unlike the snippets from the gramophone mag cover cd, this one hangs together as a coherent cd and I do continue to play it. It comes from Naim who are pedominantly hi-fi equipment manufacturers but who also operate a small scale record label to produce demonstration standard sound for their equipment.This cd is mainly of chamber music. The Allegri Quartet play pieces by Betthoven, Schubert and Bruch ( one movement in each case ). Pianist Havard Gimse plays Scherzo No 2 by Chopin and violinist Yuval Yavon plays the Devil's Trill by Tartini. Some Veracini by the Trio John Holloway and Grieg by the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra round the cd off, plus there is a movement from a string quartet by Philip Gates played by the Eberle Quartet.
