Gabriel Fauré's chamber works, long overshadowed by his popular Requiem (Naxos 8550765), are regaining their rightful place. This new release from the Kungsbacka Piano Trio follows their recording of Fauré's First Piano Quartet and other chamber works (8.573042), described by Gramophone as 'a delectable way into Fauré's chamber music'. The programme features the less frequently heard original version (with clarinet) of the Piano Trio, the Second Piano Quartet (which includes an evocation of the bells of Cadirac near the composer's home), the Romances sans paroles (described by Marcel Proust as 'intoxicating') and one of Fauré's most famous works, the Berceuse from the Dolly Suite.
