Ensemble Jackalope brings an invigorating brilliance to the
Piano Quartet repertoire.
Frank Bridge’s 1910 quartet packs immense
energy into a rich, concise framework that stylistically owes much to
German and French influences, while Fauré’s expansive and ardent work has
an emotional direction that some commentators have attributed to the rise
and subsequent demise of his first romance. Schumann’s Quartet was
enthusiastically welcomed on its première in 1844 as “a piece full of
spirit and vitality … with soaring flights of imagination”.
