Piano Quartets

Album by Gabriel Fauré & Trio Wanderer & Antoine Tamestit

Piano Quartets are two piano quartet compositions by Gabriel Fauré, dating from 1879 and 1886. They combine Romantic chamber textures with Fauré's evolving harmonic language, emphasising lyrical piano writing and close string interplay while pointing towards the refined modal and chromatic colours that would characterise his later chamber music.
First released: 2010
