The magnificent Oxalys ensemble, led by Toon Fret at the flute, puts forward an absolute discovery: the complete quartets with flute by Ferdinand Ries, the great contemporary of Beethoven. One of the most famous musicians of his time, Ries combines classical contours with romantic elements in an elegant, spiritual fashion that can be considered his trademark. Supporting the voluble parts for the flute, he wrote dense and inventive scores for the strings. A true declaration of love for chamber music!
