The Dante Quartet produce a full-blooded performance of Fauré and Franck String Quartets, particularly Franck’s String Quartet in D, his last work but written at the height of his powers. Played with unashamed passion, the vigour is maintained to the last heartfelt notes.
In contrast, Piers Lane and the Goldner Quartet communicate the languid sensuality of Bloch Piano Quintets. The final nominee in this year’s Chamber category is the Trio Parnassus performing piano quartets by Peteris Vasks. The Latvian composer combines experimental tonal language with interesting textures, rewardingly conveyed by the Trio Parnassus.
