The Ambache Chamber Orchestra and Ensemble is a flexible group of from three to thirty players. Since its formation in 1984, it has become known for the vitality of its performances and for the cohesiveness of its collaborative, unconducted teamwork. The Ambache is famous for its championship of music by women composers.
"The playing of the chamber group founded by Diana Ambache is both beautiful and distinguished." Manchester Evening News
"Recorded sound is warm and vibrant and the disc is thoroughly recommended for the groups perceptive and idiomatic approach to this delicate, enchanting music." The Strad
"Amy Beachs music inhabits conservative rather than progressive ground, a universe or two removed from American contemporaries like Ives. Nevertheless it is fine work, and its good to welcome this excellent disc containing two major chamber compositions together with a pair of shorter, charming minor pieces." International Record Review
