Review by Zachary and Thais

The Rest Ensemble's latest album, featuring Trios Clarinet Viola And Piano Op79 Oboe Violin And Piano Op115 Sonata For Viola Op87 by Robin Holloway, is a stunning collection of chamber music that showcases the group's exceptional talent and artistry.

The album opens with the Trios Clarinet Viola And Piano Op79, a lively and energetic piece that highlights the interplay between the three instruments. The oboe, violin, and piano are all given moments to shine, with each musician bringing their own unique voice to the ensemble.

Next up is the Oboe Violin And Piano Op115, a more contemplative and introspective work that showcases the Rest Ensemble's ability to create a sense of intimacy and connection through their music. The oboe and violin weave together beautifully, supported by the gentle, understated accompaniment of the piano.

The final piece on the album is the Sonata For Viola Op87, a haunting and evocative work that allows the viola to take center stage. The Rest Ensemble handles the shifting moods and dynamics of the piece with skill and sensitivity, creating a powerful emotional impact that lingers long after the final notes have faded away.
