About
The Wiener Symphoniker String Sextet invites listeners into the soundscapes of two renowned composers of National Romanticism, shaped by the character of their respective homelands. In Edward Elgar’s Enigma Variations, the spirit of Britain resonates with elegance and depth, while Dvořák’s String Sextet in A major brings the magic of the Slavic tradition to life.
