Camerata Ensemble on CD
In this new addition to the Campion Cameo British Composer series, the Camerata Ensemble perform two works by the Novello composer, John McCabe; String Trio and String Quartet No. 2, alongside two work by David Ellis. The Camerata Ensemble draws its members from the Manchester Camerata and has established a reputation as one of the foremost chamber groups in the North West.

"...The pleasures continue with McCabe’s Second Quartet of 1972...its single movement embraces a more or less traditional classical scheme, with a nervy Vivo Scherzo preceding a Largo slow movement that acts as the work’s emotional core. Again, McCabe’s music possesses a purpose, power and craft that cannot fail to impress." (Andrew Achenbach, Gramophone Magazine)
