Brahms/ Ensemble Obligat Hamburg - Grand Nonetto Format:CD Keiko Matsuo is featured hereTwenty five years of "Ensemble Obligat": reason enough to celebrate and honor an extraordinary chamber music formation. On it's anniversary release on GENUIN, Ensemble Obligat has expanded into a chamber orchestra with soloists to present Johannes Brahms' Serenade No. 1 and Louis Spohr's large Nonet in F major. These are two pieces that require a balance between soloistic leadership and overall sound, a quality that the ensemble embodies perfectly.
