Since it's beginnings, the Le Beau Ensemble has specialised in the works of the composer of the same name, Luise Adolpha Le Beau (1850-1927). Le Beau left behind more than 65 opus-numbered compositions in almost all genres: songs, choral music, piano pieces, chamber music, symphonic works, a piano concerto, two oratorios and the fairy tale opera 'The Enchanted Caliph'. This debut album combines important song compositions and cycles with chamber music and the central work, the piano quintet, op. 28.
