Here, they explore the repertoire for horn with founder member and horn player Stephen Stirling - a renowned soloist with an international reputation as a chamber musician. The repertoire on this disc presents Richard Strauss' symphonic tone poem 'Till Eulenspiegels’ (arranged as a ‘frolic’ for violin, double bass, clarinet, bassoon and horn by Franz Hasenöhrl), the virtually unknown Idyll for horn and string quartet by Alexander Glazunov, Mozart’s quintet in Eb KV407 (386c) for horn and strings with the unique scoring pairing violas rather than two violins, Koechlin’s four pieces (or tiny vignettes) for horn, violin and piano, the beautiful oddity 'Serenata in Vano' for cello, double bass, clarinet, bassoon and horn by Carl Nielsen and Poulenc’s uniquely scored Sonata for horn, trumpet and trombone.
