Music reviews of Fauré: Chamber Music, Vol. 2
Music Review: Superb performances of Faure's finest music.
Rating: 5 Stars
Because he wrote relatively little for orchestra and wasn't a bold innovator on the level of Debussy, Gabriel Faure has never quite received the public acclaim he deserves. There's much more to him than the Pavane, or even the Requiem. His best work throbs with a gentle yet impassioned lyricism, saved from sentimentality by the occasional, acid touch of dissonance in the harmony. Faure's musical language is that of a sophisticated yet kind man with an urgent sense of the bittersweet nature of life. That worldly-wise, poetic lyricism is heard to best advantage in his chamber music. A group of first-rate French musicians--including pianist Jean-Philippe Collard, violinist Augustin Dumay, violist Bruno Pasquier, cellist Frederic Lodeon, and the Parrenin Quartet--recorded all of Faure's chamber music in a two-volume set in the late 1970s. Volume II contains what are probably Faure's most beloved chamber pieces, the piano quartets and quintets. For my money, the opening movement of the Quintet No. 2, Op. 115, is the most beautiful music Faure ever wrote, and it is hard to imagine a better performance of it than that given by Collard and the Parrenin Quartet on this disc. Anyone with even a passing interest in French chamber music should acquire this set.
