Fasch: Quartets & Concertos /ensemble Marsyas

Ensemble Marsyas; Thorby; Whelan

Composed by: Fasch, Johann Friedrich

The Ensemble Marsyas’ recording of Bach and Handel contemporary Johann Fasch’s (1688-1758) finest examples of his chamber music demonstrates why the man and his music were so appreciated in his lifetime. Founding ensemble member Peter Whelan and ‘the queen of the recorder’ (BBC Radio 3) Pamela Thorby are the soloists challenged with meeting the virtuoso demands of this engaging music. The Edinburgh based chamber group comprises the best of a new generation of early music specialists from across Europe. “…highly capable playing, with expert tuning [and] smooth lines.” - Gramophone
