LE BEAU, L.A.: Chamber Music and Songs (Le Beau Ensemble)

Since its inception, the Le Beau Ensemble has specialised in the works of the composer from whom it takes its name, Luise Adolpha Le Beau (1850–1927). Le Beau left behind more than 65 works with opus numbers in almost all genres: songs, choral music, piano pieces, chamber music, symphonic works, a piano concerto, two oratorios and the fairy tale opera The Enchanted Caliph. This debut album features songs with chamber accompaniments alongside the programme’s major work, the Piano Quartet, Op. 28.
