Overview

The Heath Quartet joins the Elias for what is perhaps one of the composer’s finest achievements in the form of his early Octet, preceded by an almost contemporaneous piece in the shape of the First String Quintet; the Fourth Quartet, meanwhile, is a work of the composer’s adulthood, written in 1837.
