LMMC: Fauré Quartett, piano quartet

This page is also available in / Cette page est également disponible en: Francais (French)

The Fauré Quartett was founded in Karlsruhe, Germany in 1995, the 150th anniversary of the birth of composer Gabriel Fauré. In the three decades since then, the founding members are all still in the group, which has established itself as one of the world’s leading chamber ensembles and as one of the few for the instrumental combination of piano, violin, viola, cello. The Quartett has appeared in most of the world’s leading concert halls, including Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw, London’s Wigmore Hall, the Alte Oper in Frankfurt, the Berlin Philharmonie, and the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires. In addition to mainstream classics, the Fauré Quartett is devoted to discovering new and unusual repertory. In 2009, it expanded its repertory with modern arrangements of selected songs from pop history, published by the Deutsche Grammophon label under the title Popsongs. The Quartett’s visionary, experimental approach has attracted considerable attention, as for example in its collaborations with artists like Rufus Wainwright and Sven Helbig, and in appearances at clubs like Le Poisson Rouge in New York. The Quartett’s mainstream discography includes works by Mozart, Schumann, Brahms, Mendelssohn, and of course Fauré, in addition to its own arrangements of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition and Rachmaninoff’s Etudes-Tableaux.
