An impressive collection of recordings illustrates the same varied and colourful combination of classical masterpieces, little-known neglected gems and important contemporary works. Notable recordings for Hyperion include the Mozart and Beethoven string quintets, chamber works by Schumann and Saint-Saëns, Czech composers incarcerated in the Theresienstadt concentration camp between 1941 and 1945, and Bruch’s string quintets and octet.
The Nash makes many foreign tours; concerts have been given throughout Europe, the USA and Canada. The group is a regular visitor to many European and British music festivals and can be heard on radio, television, at the BBC Proms, and at music clubs throughout the country. Since 1979 it has presented a celebrated series every season at Wigmore Hall exploring the many facets of the chamber music repertoire.
The ensemble has won The Edinburgh Festival Critics’ music award ‘for general artistic excellence’, and in 1989 and 2002 The Royal Philharmonic Society’s small ensemble award ‘for the breadth of its taste and its immaculate performance of a wide range of music’.
