Belcea Quartet with Bertrand Chamayou

French pianist Bertrand Chamayou joins the renowned British quartet for Shostakovich's Piano Quintet in G minor and C茅sar Franck's Quintet in F minor.

Shostakovich's Piano Quintet in G minor was first performed in November 1940 by the Beethoven Quartet and Shostakovich himself. For the premiere of C茅sar Franck's F minor Quintet, the piano part was taken by none other than Camille Saint-Sa毛ns. Franck had written it out for him with an appended note: "To my good friend Camille Saint-Sa毛ns", whose piano music we hear in the interval this evening.
Recorded at Wigmore Hall, London, presented by Martin Handley.
