JOSEPH LABOR (1842-1924): Quintet for Piano, String Trio and Double Bass in E Minor, Op. 3, Piano Quartet in C, Op. 6.

Description: Labor, blind from the age of three and known mostly as an organ composer (and teacher of Schoenberg), writes music full of flowing melodies which meander through lovely landscapes of the mind and deliver what sentimentalists might describe as "heart's ease". His clarinet quartet was offered way back in March 2006 (03H046). Nina Karmon (violin), Pauline Sachse (viola), Justus Grimm (cello), Niek de Groot (double bass), Oliver Triendl (piano).
