London Conchord Ensemble

Mozart's Trio for clarinet, viola and piano was the first work to be composed for this combination of instruments, and Mozart's publishers gave it its nickname (which means 'Skittle Alley') - playing to the idea that it was composed during a round of the game. Ending the programme, a 19th-century chamber masterwork for the clarinet by Brahms, and - in between - one of Weber's most attractive salon works together with a powerful work by Britten which today's performers describe as a 'nascent War Requiem - a piece of enormous scope and beauty'.
