Currently celebrating its 60th-anniversary season, The Nash Ensemble here delivers accounts of Debussy’s String Quartet & Sonatas. Besides that early quartet and the three sonatas which date from the composer’s final years, the programme also includes a rare outing for David Walter’s chamber ensemble arrangement of the Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune. Scored for twelve players (single strings and winds, plus harp and crotales), this is an idiomatic version which loses none of the mastery and languor of the orchestral original. This album again demonstrates the truth of The Sunday Times’s evaluation of the Nash ‘chamber music royalty’.
