But this group, the string trio Ensemble Epomeo with three extra players, instead strives for, and achieves, clarity of line and texture. The textures are appropriately bass heavy, and the two cellos dominate, but every line comes through with exceptional clarity. This gives the piece a new profile, with the complex but now clear counterpoint driving the music and leading the ear through the harmonic web. There is atmosphere here too, and much warmth in the ensemble\u2019s sound, but that is never at the expense of the individual lines&#8230; \u00a0Generally, though, this is an impressive recording, and one that exposes many details of the score that usually remain obscure.&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.classical-cd-reviews.com\/2014\/07\/brahms-schoenberg-ensemble-epomeo.html\" target=\"_blank\">Gavin Dixon, Classical CD Reviews<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mdt.co.uk\/schonberg-verklarte-nacht-brahms-serenade-the-swan-kenneth-woods-somm.html\" target=\"_blank\">Purchase here from MDT<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px;\" src=\"http:\/\/rcm-eu.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/cm?lt1=_blank&amp;bc1=000000&amp;IS2=1&amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;fc1=000000&amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;t=aviewfromthep-21&amp;o=2&amp;p=8&amp;l=as4&amp;m=amazon&amp;f=ifr&amp;ref=ss_til&amp;asins=B00KQ31I3E\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Brahms- Serenade No. 1 in D Major, Orchestra of the Swan, Kenneth Woods\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wW52SxfNOEo?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div id=\"wp_fb_like_button\" style=\"margin:5px 0;float:none;height:100px;\"><script src=\"http:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#xfbml=1\"><\/script><fb:like href=\"https:\/\/kennethwoods.net\/blog1\/bio\/discography\/schoenberg-verklarte-nacht-brahms-serenade-no-1-in-d-major\/\" send=\"false\" layout=\"box_count\" width=\"450\" show_faces=\"true\" font=\"arial\" action=\"like\" colorscheme=\"light\"><\/fb:like><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Johannes Brahms:\u00a0Serenade no. 1 in D major, opus 11 Arnold Sch\u00f6nberg:\u00a0Verkl\u00e4rte Nacht LIVE RECORDINGS Recording Producer: Siva Oke Recording Engineer: Paul Arden-Taylor Recording locations: Verkl\u00e4rte Nacht: The Parish church of St. Peter and St. Paul, Dover, on 8 March 2013 as part of the Deal Festival, Kent.
