Reviews:
'…Faure’s music truly lives under the Schubert Ensemble’s fingers. The troubled First Quintet’s full textures are beautifully balanced, harmonic and melodic contrasts are expertly worked, and the musical lines breathe and soar. Then the Second Quintet, written in a pre-retirement demob-happy state of light-heartedness, sounds as fresh as fresh can be. The players male neatly rapid work of the virtuosic passages and beautifully draw out the progressive harmonies and textural variety.' (International Record Review - "Editor’s Choice")
'It is hard not to be beguiled by the charms of Faure’s First Piano Quintet when played with the kind of understanding displayed by The Schubert Ensemble. …they [The Schubert Ensemble] judge its slow-burning splendour masterfully. The long-breathed melodies of the of the exquisite slow movement are hypnotic, and they mix intensity with panache in the final movement.
They are similarly convincing in the late C minor Quintet, with its air of freedom, having been composed in the wake of Faure’s retirement as direct of the Paris Conservatoire. Certainly the scampering scherzo (Allegro vivo) has the character of a man rejuvenated… The Schubert Ensemble capture this carefree spirit, and show their experience in their control of the slowly increasing pace of the playful final movement. William Howard brings a suitably fleet-fingered lightness of touch to the shyly virtuosic piano part, and each of the string players combines beauty with incisiveness.' (Classic FM)
