There is an entire life of composition between Saint-Saëns’s Quintet and Quartet — there are joys, sorrows, ideas and motifs, as well as the building of a life and an aesthetic. The Girard Quartet (Quatuor Girard) — currently one of the most promising French ensembles accompanied by young pianist Guillaume Bellom — wanted to capture this outstandingly delicate material on this new recording released by B Records. It was recorded in the calm and relaxed atmosphere of the Singer-Polignac Foundation.
