César Franck: Violin Sonata, Piano Trio No.1 & Piano Quintet - Vierne: Piano Quintet

Trio Wanderer, Catherine Montier, Christophe Gaugué

The Trio Wanderer follows up its multi-award- winning Schumann set with an exploration of the fascinating world of César Franck.

The gulf between his youthful trios and the prodigious works of his maturity reveals a fundamental turning point in the history of French chamber music.

Continuing along the trail that Franck blazed with such brio, Louis Vierne’s deeply moving Quintet offers an echo of the older man’s work.

Franck, C: Piano Quintet in F minor, Op. 14
Franck, C: Trio Concertant in F sharp minor, Op. 1, No. 1
Franck, C: Violin Sonata in A major
Vierne, L: Piano Quintet in C minor Op. 42

July 2023

Vierne’s extraordinary Piano Quintet...is an apposite choice here, not just for its affinity to Franck, readily apparent in this searing performance, but as a programmatic black armband in this two-disc set dedicated to the memory of pianist Nicholas Angelich.
