Notes and Editorial Reviews
One of France's finest string quartets joins with Canada's distinguished pianist Jane Coop for this chamber music gem of French repertoire. The CD includes two of the most popular works of the French masters Ravel (his only String Quartet) and Fauré (his Piano Quartet No. 1), as well as an innovative contemporary quartet by the eminent French composer Francois-Bernard Mâche. This is French romantic music at its best, played with passion by these collaborative international artists. 'Coop has that extra something that lets a pianist become a poet.' MONTREAL GAZETTE
