31 - AND THEN THERE WERE FIVE : EDINBURGH QUARTET & KATHRYN STOTT

Kathryn Stott joins the Edinburgh Quartet for the mighty piano quintet by Franck written in 1879, a highly romantic and tempestuous work which was famously premiered with Saint-Saens at the piano.   In contrast Debussy’s Quartet of some twenty years later brings the more impressionistic style to bear which is more poetic and elusive though it shares some of the same Gallic passion.
