Fauré - Piano Quartet No1 in C minor, Op.15 (1)

[danielbream]

che bellezza.

[slaytesics]

without a doubt the best performance (also, the schubert ensemble did a FANTASTIC G minor, I highly suggest looking for that recording, it's cheap)

[jacobflaschen]

I think Howard Shore stole one of his themes from a motif here...

[somnynightin78]

@jacobflaschen when you say "stole" it seemed to be expressed with negative connotations, because composers borrow themes from each other all the time.

[AlexMansourMusic]

@jacobflaschen which one?

[jacobflaschen]

@AlexMansourMusic I was half-joking; it kinda sounds like the Fellowship theme.

REALLY Y'LL LIKE TO KNOW THE HISTORY OF THIS PIECE..IT'S SO SUBLIME..¿WICH IS YOUR ...

[slaytesics]

I wish I could find this recording

[dsherm91]

@emanonami I've never played it, but I went and listened to it. I think it sounds pretty cool - always a shame when the composer doesn't get the chance to finish the other movements (thinking also of Schubert's Quartettsatz).

[YNGVIRTUOSOVIOLIST]

I love this piece very much

[amadeuswebern]

Quartet Ysaye and Pascal Roge have done a great job with Faure's piano quartets and quintets. Another excellent and probably hard to find performance is with Jean-Philippe Collard and the Quator Parrenin.

[phi223]

The opening harmonies of this quartet are absolutely gorgeous!

[parting6]

pure art !!!!

[Fredrikschut]

I don't know anything about classical music and it didn't touch me till i've heard this peace. I think it's sublime. Can anybody tell me were I can buy this?

[phi223]

@Fredrikschut

Probably on itunes

[abdul7591]

@Fredrikschut I don't know about this recording, but a really opulent performance recorded in the mid-1980s by the English group "Domus" was released by the Hyperion label. I'm pretty sure it's still available.

[davidmaligno]

2:55 Que momento mas inspirado, sublime!!!

[dsherm91]

I regularly read piano quartets with my father and two friends (I play violin). This piece is possibly the most beautiful of all of them.

[emanonami]

@dsherm91 That's awesome. Have you played the Mahler Piano Quartet? I love it. :D

this is lovely

[humbledog1984]

Ive always wanted to hear Casals/Thibaud/Cortot play this and the Opus 45 but I dont suppose I shall. Id always assumed it was on 78.

[LNcello]

@humbledog1984 Or how about Long - Thibaud - Vieux - Fournier?!

It seems the album with the 2nd quartet will be available on Amazon as of tomorrow (remastered disc of a recording made May 10, 1940 - btw the very day Germany invaded the Netherlands and just before invading France).

[sarischipper]

Going to listen to this music in Singapore's conservatorium 22 Oct. 2008!

[otterhouse]

Very nice, the onyx cd?

[AntiguoShergot]

BRILLIANT! this quartet is incredible and very difficult to play. I'm playing it with my quartet and...the pianist can die! haha!

Where can I get the song?

[mujan84]

è bellisssimo

[Ankhsnammon]

Under the storm of yellow,Faurè' s music is opening an instant of relief.....and everything turns in blue..in a wild despairing blue...
