Compared by contemporaries to Ravel and Debussy, French composer Florent Schmitt is being rediscovered today. Following his death, one critic mourned that "French music has just lost a smile and a master". The whimsical and sparkling À tour d'anches for oboe, clarinet, bassoon and piano and the dramatically beautiful Piano Quintet reveal a powerful and distinctive personality.
Piano Quintet, Op. 51
A tour d'anches, Op. 97
