Seattle Chamber Music Society & James Ehnes – American Chamber Music (2014) [FLAC 24bit/96kHz]

James Ehnes and friends from the Seattle Chamber Music Society hit the road on a fascinating journey through chamber music by some of the giants of 20th-century American classical music.

Aaron Copland’s masterful Violin Sonata, Leonard Bernstein’s youthful and vibrant Piano Trio, and Samuel Barber’s B minor String Quartet with its famous Adagio slow movement (known the world over as ‘Barber’s Adagio’) are joined by Elliott Carter’s haunting ‘Elegy’ from early in his long career, and the other-worldly ‘Largo’ by that great maverick Charles Ives.
