Edinburgh New Town Concert Series (2/4)

Quatuor Ébène perform Schumann's String Quartet No 3, and the Van Baerle Trio play Fauré's Piano Trio in D minor, at the Queen's Hall in Edinburgh.

The award-winning Van Baerle Trio perform Faure’s Piano Trio in D minor. Written after he’d retired from the Paris Conservatoire in his seventies, it’s one of Faure’s final works. Then follows a French take on Schumann’s String Quartet No.3 Op 41 by former Radio 3 New Generation Artists, The Quatuor Ébène. Schumann wrote to his publishers about this work that ‘you may rest assured that I have spared no pains to produce something really respectable—indeed, I sometimes think my best.’ He dedicated the piece to his friend Felix Mendelssohn.

Recorded at the Queens Hall with presentation by Stephen Broad.
