"What a wonderful disc of unknown chamber works. Castelnuovo-Tedesco's musical language is unashamedly lyrical, especially for music from the 1920's and 30's. Not the most profound music, but his tunes are always memorable and inventive. One can see why these works were so popular at their premiere. This disc is a joy to listen to, fully comitted performances and fine recording quality. Thank you to the Arman Ensemble and their world premiere recordings for bringing these works the attention they deserve."
