Dohnanyi Sextet, Fibich Quintet, Endymion Ensemble.
ASV 943


“Both these works break the mould of conventional piano chamber music with scoring that mixes string and wind instruments. The resultant colouring is so beautiful and distinctive that one wonders why so few other composers explored such possibilities. This is an outstanding chamber music disc and a truly worthy addition to the catalogue.” 
Classic CD 5-star recording

"The Endymions play with great feeling and panache; they are splendidly recorded and can be strongly recommended."

"This is a fine disc indeed of some magnificent chamber music, beautifully performed by the gifted members of the Endymion Ensemble."

Sound Census, Works by 22 British composers.
Endymion/Quentin Poole NMC D160

“It is typical of Endymion, that marvellous champion of new (and old) chamber music, that this ensemble’s 30th birthday prompted no retrospective but a look to the future. Sound Census is a collection of newly commissioned works from 22 British composers…  It almost goes without saying that the Endymion players are first-rate advocates for these works.”
BBC Music Magazine, 5-star recording
