Franck: Quintet for Piano and Strings in F Minor, Sonata for Violin and Piano in A

The Schubert Ensemble

Classical - Released November 30, 2009 | The Sound Corporation

The Schubert Ensemble of London, a noteworthy group who, at its core, is a piano quartet with the addition of a double bass player, has been promoting standard repertoire and modern chamber music for more than a quarter century. This Champs Hill Records disc substitutes bassist Peter Buckoke for a second violinist, Jan Peter Schmolck, for a performance of César Franck's F minor Piano Quintet. Written during a time of intense infatuation with one of his students, the quintet is an especially emotional, demonstrative example of Franck's mature style. The Schubert Ensemble's performance here is befitting the subject matter and marked with intensity, passion, captivating dynamics, and meticulous ensemble work. Sound quality here is also generally good, though a bit muddy at some climaxes. Next on the program is the well-known Violin Sonata in A major; this performance does not fare as well as the quintet. Violinist Simon Blendis' intonation is problematic at best and much of his interpretation is overwrought and indulgent. Tempos are also on the slow side, bordering on ponderous in the two outer movements. Most troubling, however, is the overall sound quality. The piano is inarticulate and garbled, and the violin seems distant and underpowered. Listeners will certainly enjoy the performance of the quintet, but can certainly do better elsewhere for a superior recording of the sonata. © TiVo

César Franck: Violin Sonata, Piano Trio No.1 & Piano Quintet - Vierne: Piano Quintet

Trio Wanderer

Chamber Music - Released May 26, 2023 | harmonia mundi

Hi-Res Booklet Distinctions Diapason d'or
French chamber music is, in general, underexposed, notwithstanding the popularity of Franck's Piano Quintet in F minor and Violin Sonata in A major. Those two works receive strong performances here from a subset and an expanded version, respectively, of the Wanderer Trio. The players capture the over-the-top quality of both works, the exceptional difficulty and range of the piano part in the sonata, and the emotional extremes of the Quintet, but what makes this double album a must for chamber music lovers is the presence of the other two works on the album, both of them much less common: the Piano Quintet in C minor, Op. 42, of Louis Vierne and Franck's Piano Trio No. 1 in F sharp minor, Op. 1, No. 1. The Vierne quintet is a revelation. The booklet makes much of Vierne's indebtedness to Franck, and indeed, Franck's cyclical procedure and his general combination of contrapuntal density with intense expressivity are present. Yet the work is wholly characteristic of Vierne. It often has the flavor of Vierne's better-known organ music (sample the Larghetto sostenuto slow movement), and it has a distinctively somber tone resulting from its origins as a memorial piece for the composer's son, dead in World War I. The Franck F sharp minor trio, one of several early Franck trios, is in a Mendelssohnian vein, but Franck's melodicism was fully present even at this early date (1839). The program as a whole sustains interest over its length, and Harmonia Mundi's sound from the Théâtre Auditorium de Poitiers is resonant and idiomatic, not damaging the players' properly extreme dynamic range. An exciting chamber music release.© James Manheim /TiVo

Ernest Moeran: Chamber Music

Fidelio Trio

Chamber Music - Released February 4, 2022 | Resonus Classics

Hi-Res Booklet
Ernest Moeran’s love for Ireland and absorption of its music and musicians led to the composer living on the island of Valentia for two years while later making Kenmare his second home from around 1934 until his death there in 1950. Moeran’s experiences in Ireland appear to have influenced him melodically in the traditional folk dance-like textures he embraces, particularly throughout his early Piano Trio and Violin Sonata featured on this album alongside his Prelude for Cello and Piano and Sonata for Two Violins. In the four chamber works on this album Moeran’s use of melodic and harmonic turns, his approach to instrumentation and command of the strings and piano writing, has gifted us a treasure trove of focus in repertoire, utterly connected, through him, with music of places and peoples. © Resonus
