Background: Both works on this new Phoenix Edition recording are from César Franck’s late period of composition. The Piano Quintet in F minor, owes its formal arrangement to Beethoven’s Quartetto serioso in F minor op.95 and with its expressive, dramatic and symphonic structure heralded a new dimension of French chamber music.

The massively symphonic and majestic sound with the highly virtuoso piano part pushes the work to the frontier between chamber and orchestral music.

The String Quartet completed in 1890 bears witness to his increased preoccupation with Beethoven’s late works. Vincent d’Indy described it as a 'sonate cyclique', the composer's own accented restoration of sonata form, a balancing act between simplicity and complexity of the formal structure.
