To forge chamber music from orchestral scores and make music of the
highest order with like-minded colleagues — this was the ambition of
eight section leaders of the Dresden Staatskapelle when they founded the
Dresden Octet to give a chamber concert during the orchestra’s tour of
Hong Kong in 2015. The idea of creating such an ensemble had been on the
cards for some time — hardly surprising given that the Staatskapelle is
bound to chamber music by a long and significant tradition embodied by
the Tonkunstler-Verein zu Dresden (Composers’ Society of Dresden), which
was founded in 1854 and has been run independently to this day. “For
us, music-making in the octet is an ideal form of chamber music,”
acknowledges the ensemble’s double-bassist and founding member Andreas
Wylezol. For this release the ensemble has chosen Franz Schubert’s Octet
in F major D 803.
