"... committed performances vividly recorded."
- Gramophone
"Four Stars. It is hard not to be beguiled by the charms of Fauré when played with the kind of understanding displayed by the Schubert Ensemble ... each of the string players combines beauty with incisiveness."
- BBC Music Magazine
"Editor’s Choice ... Fauré’s music truly lives under the Schubert Ensemble’s fingers ... full textures are beautifully balanced, harmonic and melodic contrasts are expertly worked ... the musical lines breathe and soar ... the players beautifully draw out the progressive harmonies and textural variety."
- Classic FM
Award-winning chamber music group the Schubert Ensemble is passionate about the music of Fauré and has championed the reflective and highly individual Quintets on which Fauré broke new ground: in fusing pre-Baroque modes with the traditional tonal system, he created a fluid sense of constantly shifting harmony which is inimitably his own. The fluidity is apparently effortless, but if you listen closely to the two Piano Quintets on this album you will hear great drama, tension and profound emotion, all skilfully executed by the Schubert Ensemble.
