Vienna Octet - Eloquence: 20th Century Chamber Music - Rock - CD

This recording forms part of a series of 10 reissues celebrating the glorious Decca recordings from the 1950s -1970s of the Wiener Oktett (Vienna Octet), made up of key principals from the Wiener Philharmoniker and the Vienna Symphony Orchestra.

Perhaps the ensemble projected a rather cosy, cuddly image on it's tours abroad.

More often than not, the program would include the works by Mozart, Michael Haydn, Beethoven, Schubert, Spohr, Conradin Kreutzer and Brahms.
