AP177 Quatuor Cambini-Paris | Gounod: Complete String Quartets (1st recording on period instruments)
On the occasion of the bi-centenary of Charles Gounod's birth, this first complete string quartet (including two unpublished ones) on period instruments reveals an unknown part of his production, dominated by vocal music.Composer of the very end of the 19th century, Gounod and his five quartets are the worthy heir of the Viennese classicism tradition. The lyrical accents of the Quartet in G minor or the airy lightness of the Scherzo of the Petit Quatuor evoke nothing less than the names of Schubert and Mendelssohn.The musicians of the Quatuor Cambini-Paris (Julien Chauvin, Karine Crocquenoy, Pierre-Eric Nimylowycz and Atsushi Sakaï) gracefully reproduce these pages, full of gravity and sweetness.
