Info for Thieriot: Chamber Music, Vol. 4

The Hamburg-born Ferdinand Thieriot (1838–1919) not only shared a teacher – Eduard Marxsen – with Brahms; both composers, who remained friends in later years, use a similar musical language, one which is richly melodic and effortlessly contrapuntal. The musicologist Wilhelm Altmann wrote that ‘Thieriot’s chamber music is without exception noble and pure. He writes with perfect command of form and expression’ – as the works on this fourth Toccata Classics volume prove, in their exquisite balance of depth and beauty, of Brahmsian richness and Schubertian spontaneity.

Amadeus Chamber Musicians

The Amadeus Chamber Orchestra
was founded in 2018 by violinist Adam LaMotte. It presents intimate yet powerful performances, creating programs that span five centuries of incredible classical music. With each concert performance, the ACO keeps with its mission of giving young musicians the invaluable opportunity of playing alongside seasoned professionals, with no conductor to rely on. As of 2022, over 20 teenaged musicians have performed with the ACO, further inspiring many to go onto careers in classical music.

As a conductorless chamber orchestra, our strength lies in flexibility, and the reliance on the cumulative strength of all our musicians, not just a single one calling the shots. Call it chamber music on steroids.
