This is Ensemble Liaison’s debut CD. The group was formed in 2006 and is Monash University’s Ensemble in Residence. They have performed throughout Australia including for Musica Viva, and have appeared on ABC-TV’s Sunday Arts program.

This CD contains the two major chamber works for this instrumental combination: the youthful Beethoven Trio, written when he was just 27; the late Brahms Trio, written for clarinettist Richard Muhlfield whose inspired playing brought Brahms out of retirement and to conclude the recital the beautiful and harmonically daring Eight Pieces by Bruch.
