Allegro: 3:24 Some folks (including the composer's wife) thought at the time that this masterpiece was dissonant. Guess ears have toughened up since then. The now expected high level of performance from the Ebene. Thanks, FestivalWissembourg, and keep 'em coming.

@@urmorph Here is an extract of the (unsigned) description on the Decca LP of the Curzon-Vienna Philharmonic quartet version (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hcxid7lh1NrQhas.html) (which seems to have strongly influenced the present interpretation): "But the aged Liszt professed to be shocked by the work's passionate sensuality, and Franck's wife detested it - it is even said that such was her abhorrence of the Quintet that her abuse of it could reach the pitch of fury, and that she would wildly accuse Franck's pupils of having goaded him into writing the thing. And here, perhaps, lies a clue to the reason for the composition of the Quintet; for it can hardly be credited that such outbursts on the part of Madame Franck were made solely for aesthetic reasons; it seems far more likely that she had made a shrewd guess at the nature of the inspiration of the work and had reached the conclusion, now generally accepted, that the driving force behind the composition was Franck's love for Augusta Holmès, a poetess, singer and musician of singular physical beauty who was at the time his pupil. If this is in fact the case, the Quintet must certainly be one of the most astonishing revelations of character ever to be effected by a composition - for who could have suspected the existence of such an underlying flame in the placid and respectable Franck? Yet it matters not what were the circumstances of the work's creation - the importance of the Piano Quintet lies in its purely musical qualities: its originality, its power and its intensity."

Un pur joyau par des interprètes de rêve inspirés. En plus la prise de son est remarquablement réussie.

No other ensemble, I repeat, no other, plays this quintet as well!! Especiaslly in the third movement, the balance between piano and strings is perfect. If it is not so, the result is a hodge podge of sounds, as heard from other interpreters. Pity the Ebene did not make a CD of this!

Since more than 50 years I have been appreciating this piano quintet only by Janacek Quartet with Bernatova as no better interpretation was found including Capet’s. I’m moved by this expressionistic seriousness at the first mov. going far ahead of J.Q. But abandoned serenity, as if a child waited in vain at home for the return of mother, of the 2. mov. is played clamorous. The third triumphally dynamic mov. is a little bit noisy too. Perhaps it might be a French verbose style but Franck himself is originally German what one shouldn't forget.

His mother was German, but his father's family was from the region near the French-German border. His birthplace was Liege, in the French-speaking Wallonie region, which later became part of Belgium. He spent most of his adult life in Paris.

Fantastic performanceI have played same piece with my school a few weeks ago.(kzfaq.info/get/bejne/id2IhZag0729gXU.html)The Quintet for piano and strings in F minor expertly weaves together César Franck’s unique classical style with a touch of romantic flair, exhibiting both his brilliant mastery of form and feeling. We can easily hear the influence this unique musical engineering has had on generations of music to come, from Edvard Grieg’s romantic sonatas to Francis Poulenc’s modern-style works. Even today, the work serves as a reminder of the importance of innovation; craftsmanship, fluidity, and artistic engagement in making music. As one of the few composite works that speak to the power and grace of both its composer and performers, César Franck's Quintet is an enduring classic that continues to delight audiences across genres. From its silvery riffs to its passionate cadences, it remains a timeless genre-spanning exploration that speaks directly to any musician’s heart.
