About

Ferdinand Thieriot (1836–1919) was, like Johannes Brahms, a student of Eduard Marxsen in Hamburg. Brahms remained a friend in later years – and indeed Thieriot’s music has a Brahmsian warmth and richness and overflows with memorable melodies.

Thieriot’s music - especially the chamber works - was popular during his own lifetime but since his death in 1919 it has been totally forgotten, not least because the archives containing his manuscripts were taken to Leningrad after the Second World War. The String Sextet was one of a number of manuscripts found there, floating in a flooded basement – it was lucky to survive.

All three works here are receiving their first recordings.
