An attractive and intelligently annotated set, devoted to Fauré’s chamber music with piano; the sole drawback concerns generally astringent sound quality in these 1969/70 recordings. Pianist Jean Hubeau features in all but one of these performances. An uncommonly perceptive, adroit, and lucidly compelling artist, his readings of the large-scale piano quintets, Opp. 89 and 115, are superb. He is partnered by the Quatuor Via Nova, who contribute their own serenely idiomatic account of Fauré’s three-movement string quartet, Op. 121. Hubeau’s impressively understated pianism adds distinction to refined performances of the piano quartets, Opp. 15 and 45, and the particularly fine D minor Trio, Op. 120. Performances are of uniform excellence; soundwise, there’s still a measure of disappointment here.

Review by Michael Jameson, BBC Music Magazine

If you like French Romantic music, you will love this triple CD from Erato which features all the chamber works for piano - the Piano Trio Op.120, the two Piano Quartets in c minor and e minor, and the two Piano Quintets in d minor and c minor, respectively. The second CD also includes the String Quartet in e minor, Op.121. All six works are composed in a minor key so they all have in common a certain reflective character. They are performed by the Quatuor Via Nova with Jean Hubeau on piano. The pieces are beautifully played and are recorded with a warm acoustic, and with a running time of nearly one hour for each CD they represent excellent value for money. The recordings date from 1969 and 1970 and were performed in the Notre-Dame du Liban Church in Paris.
