Duration approx. 75 minutes, no interval
The Wendel Quartet - laureate of the Orpheus Swiss Chamber Music Competition 2024 - is immersing itself in the music of Gabriel Fauré to mark the 100th anniversary of his death. In this programme, it presents his poignant and playful Piano Quartet in C minor. In addition, two works influenced by Fauré and the French musical tradition:
The piano quartet by the Swiss-French composer Richard Dubugnon (*1968), which is a homage to Fauré, and the poetic music of the great British composer (and violist) Frank Bridge.
