Anyone into so-called "chamber prog" like Univers Zero and Art Zoyd?

I have been on a chamber music kick and as you know, I am very fond of the classical era. I own that I do not know the chamber music from this period half so well as I do symphonies and concerti, however. I don't even know all the Haydn or Mozart quartets beyond the most famous, and only...

I am relatively new in TC and I have noticed that, as nearly everywhere else, talk of orchestras tends to concentrate almost entirely on the big symphony orchestras. As someone who has managed three chamber orchestras in London in the past, I thought for my first-ever new thread, I would wave...
