Quatuor Cambini - Gounod: Complete String Quartets (CD)

Gounod: Complete String Quartets Quatuor Cambini-Paris - To celebrate the bicentenary of Charles Gounod's birth, Aparté presents the first complete recording of the composer's five string quartets (including two unpublished works) performed on period instruments by the Quatuor Cambini-Paris. Best known for his operas and vocal music, Gounod's quartets are rooted in the traditions of Viennese classicism. The musicians of the Quatuor Cambini-Paris (Julien Chauvin, Karine Crocquenoy, Pierre-Éric Nimylowycz and Atsushi Sakaï) bring out all the gravity and sweetness contained in these rarely performed works.
