Fauré: Piano Quintets

This glorious recording of Fauré’s two piano quintets was made as part of the celebrations marking the 150th anniversary of the composer’s birth and immediately garnered a crop of awards for Hyperion and the musicians involved—Susan Tomes (piano), Krysia Osostowicz and Anthony Marwood (violin), Timothy Boulton (viola) and Richard Lester (cello): ‘The playing of Domus in these two masterpieces is as light, delicate and full of insight as one would expect. They make one fall for this music all over again. This is the best-ever version of these two pieces’ (The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs).
