Released in 2001 under the Warner Classics label, this collection is a testament to the ensemble's virtuosity and the timeless appeal of classical chamber music.
Spanning a generous 1 hour and 57 minutes, the album features 22 tracks that showcase the works of four prominent composers: Bohuslav Martinu, Antonin Dvorak, Zoltan Kodaly, and Ernő Dohnanyi, with a bonus piece by Josef Suk.
