Georges Onslow's reputation as the 'French Beethoven' was earned in the field of chamber music. His 34 string quintets build on a form perfected by Mozart, and are enhanced through Onslow's suggested use of a double bass instead of a second cello, as heard in this recording. The String Quintet No. 14 in F major has an attractively genial quality, with distinctive themes contrasting with warmly emotive lyricism; String Quintet No. 24 in D major shows the influence of Beethoven in its theatrically dramatic moods.

Tracks:

String Quintet No. 14 in F Major, Op. 37 (Arr. for Double Bass & String Quartet by Matthew Baker)

String Quintet No. 24 in D Major, Op. 59 (Arr. for Double Bass & String Quartet by Matthew Baker)
