Metamorphosen

The Oculi Ensemble is a flexible string ensemble dedicated to performing and discovering the breadth of string repertoire for combinations from two to seven players.

Features several leading UK instrumentalists, including: Charlotte Scott, Emma Parker, Jon Thorne, Simon Tandree, Nathaniel Boyd, Pau Codina, Stacey Watton and

James Baillieu.

Leader Charlotte Scott comments: "This disc has been a real labour of love. From the Oculi Ensemble's inception the group wanted to explore the breadth of instrumental combinations of Strauss' chamber works. We spent a hugely enjoyable time recording at Champs Hill, and we enjoyed the journey that each day took us on, emotionally and musically. We hope that the disc enables you to join us in the Oculi Ensemble's appreciation of the glorious chamber works of Richard Strauss."
