However, like many of Spohr's other chamber experiments, his strategies occasionally led him into unintended compositional difficulties, and his results were most successful when he put aesthetic considerations over cleverness. Spohr's showy writing for the first violin, flamboyant and widespread in the Double Quartet No. 1, caused unevenness in the ensemble's balance and exposed the bareness of the other parts. The strings of the Academy of St. Chamber Ensemble give exceptional performances of these adventurous works, and Hyperion's recorded sound is of the highest quality throughout.

The Academy of St Martin in the Fields (ASMF) is an English chamber orchestra, based in London. John Churchill, then Master of Music at the London church of St, and Neville Marriner (later Sir Neville) founded the orchestra as "The Academy of St. ", a small, conductorless string group. The ASMF gave its first concert on 13 November 1959, in the church after which it was named. In 1988, the orchestra dropped the hyphens from its full name.

The First Double Quartet was written during March and April 1823, and was published as Op 65 two years later. Spohr’s London friend the organist, composer and conductor of the London Philharmonic Society concerts, Sir George Smart, was present at a performance of the work whilst on a visit to Kassel in November 1825, and wrote in his journal: ‘The quartet took 28 minutes The effect was good. Spohr played beautifully. It is very difficult for the four principal instruments. Spohr: Double Quartets. The Academy of St Chamber Ensemble.
