Faure: Trio in D Minor, Op. 120; Quartet for strings in E Minor, Op. 121 (Disc 3)

Wonderful, Greg.  I'm also making my way through this set.  Faure is the Joseph Haydn or Johannes Brahms of French Chamber Music (volume and quality).

Faure composed a lot of chamber music, compared to other French composers of the Romantic Era.  And all great stuff, too.

Any relation of Eddie Vedder? I cannot see this as great art BTW, however freaky.

I don't propose to make the case that it is great art, but (1) it is American art of a certain period, and (2) ties in with the MFA's historical Egyptian collection.

Morning, Ray. It took me years to realize Faure has more to offer than just his serene Requiem, but I'm glad I finally discovered it all. This is a really good set, still new to me, and the sound quality could be sharper, need another full go around for a solid comparison to the Brilliant chamber set. I'm starting to definitely lean towards Quatuor Ebene for the Op.121.

Hi Que - Philidor is a new composer to me but the music and time composed are of interest - any comments?  I was hoping that the ZigZag recording might be available @ BRO, but instead I found another w/ baroque flutes which looks of interest, too?  Dave :)

Addendum: for those curious in the CD I inserted @ BRO, don't bother - found a unflattering review on MusicWeb HERE, but still wondering about the other - thanks!

No, it wasn't; although I listened to some of his compositions anyway.

Thoughts? I personally love this one, the baroque violins create a nice touch.

Bach's keyboard concertos, includes BWV 1060-1065 for multiple keyboards. I love these pieces performed on piano, I'm that guy.

So far, 8 versions of Songs of the Wayfarer by Mahler, as requested by Kimi.

She perfers male voice for this.

Her favorite is the one with Maltman, Boston Philharmonic under the one-buttocked Maestro Zander.

She judges these performances by seeing who does the best HEY-YA!

Listening Sinfonia da Requiem. Awesome work. One of Britten's finest IMHO.
