Schobert: The Sonatas Opp. 5 & 6 – The Four Nations Ensemble (Audio CD)
UPC: 743625017229
Overview
“The Sonatas, Opp. 5 & 6” by Johann Schobert (c. 1735–1767) features premiere recordings of his six violin‑harpsichord‑cello sonatas. The Four Nations Ensemble—Andrew Appel on harpsichord, Ryan Brown on violin, and Loretta O’Sullivan on cello—brings clarity and stylistic flair to works rarely heard in modern performance. Originally recorded in England and released by ASV Ltd. in 1997 (CD GAU 172, Gaudeamus series), this 73‑minute album presents a refreshing window into mid‑18th‑century galant style.
