About
If a chamber music ensemble can stand together in the same lineup for 25 years, it must be doing something right. The Fauré Quartett can be assumed to be doing so: As one of the world's leading piano quartets, the for musicians are at the zenith of chamber music, touring the world's most important venues and breaking down musical boundaries with their recordings. Their Pop Songs album was followed by Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition and Rachmaninov’s Études-Tableaux in 2018, which have never been heard so rousingly before. On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of its foundation, the quartet turns its attention to a composer who is at the same time both long overdue and right now perfectly fit to be recorded properly: Gabriel Fauré.

February 2021
Fauré’s piano quartets are among his most inventive and passionate works. Ravishing performances of both by the Fauré Quartett are complemented by gorgeous chamber arrangements of a handful of songs.
January 2021
Their approach to the Fauré quartets is in some ways radical...These are high Romantic performances, grand in scale and gesture, in which the warm-sounding strings seem driven and guided by the at times emphatic weight of Dirk Mommertz’s pianism...The song transcriptions, meanwhile, scale down the emotional pitch and have considerable charm.
