FAURÉ: Piano Quartet No. 1 in C minor, Op. 15 • Piano Quartet No. 2
in G minor, Op. 45
Between 1875 and his death in 1924, Fauré produced around 10
compositions that are among the jewels of the French chamber
repertoire, written at a time when opera and symphonic music were
the predominant genres. International artist Eric Le Sage, who is
a specialist in this repertoire, continues his exploration of Fauré’s
complete chamber music with piano, accompanied by a fine team of
first-rate artists. This second volume, expertly recorded by Jean-Marc
Laisné in the wonderful setting of the MC2 Auditorium in Grenoble,
shows extraordinary energy and elegance. The first volume was awarded
the highest ratings by music magazine Classica in December 2011.
