An iconic record from the melos ensemble of london, this collection of two well-known (debussy, ravel) and two rarities (roussel, ropartz) of the chamber music repertoire was issued in both its lp and cd incarnations to great acclaim. It was recorded in the unusually spacious acoustic of walthamstow assembly hall and its late producer, ray minshull, provides an amusing recollection of the genesis of this now legendary recording.
