Two classic chamber works from great talents
The contents of this CD are:Gabriel Pierné: Quintette (Piano Quintet)Guillaume Lekeau: Quatuor inachevé (Unfinished String Quartet)Belgian composer Lekeu, who died young, left only the first two movements of his string quartet, but they were his best work: engaging, dramatic and musically ambitious. Pierné's quintet from 1919, a more understated but more confident work, comes off just as well here. Both receive quality performance and recording.
