About
The Zurich Ensemble, consisting of four award-winning Swiss soloists, make their paladino debut with two of their own spectacular transcriptions: Rimsky-Korsakov’s much-loved “Scheherazade” and “Five Oriental Melodies” by Bortkievicz. Especially their version of “Scheherazade” follows the old tradition of making orchestral music available for live performances in private homes and smaller venues as chamber music reductions.

Awards and reviews
January 2015
this recording is so successful in terms of the transcription and performance by the Zurich Ensemble. The four musicians...have the music in their souls and, through a combination of cunning and artistic will power, have made the piece their own.
2nd December 2014
Sharply rhythmic and freely expressive the spirited playing of the Zürich Ensemble is eminently compelling. Group intonation is secure and I love the appealing tone production of each instrument. The first class sound quality is vividly clear and well balanced.
