OVERVIEW
The Academy Chamber Ensemble performs a rarely heard chamber music gem, Ernst von Dohnányi’s beautiful Sextet in C, at Schloss Neuhardenberg in Germany. Brahmsian in style, the Sextet is infused with a sense of fun and humour characteristic of the underappreciated Hungarian composer. Prokofiev’s Overture on Hebrew Themes and Brahms’ own emotionally charged Horn Trio, written in memory of his mother, round off the programme.
