Note that in my modest opinion the best chamber music work of K.M. von WEBER is written for the same set of instruments. For instance, Weber's quintet with clarinet has too much concerting features: impossible for Weber to challenge Mozart on that ground !
Such a beautiful piece! And speaking as a flutist, please don't suggest changing the flute part to violin--we have so few Romantic pieces available as it is...
Louise Farrenc is a totally unknown composer, which deserves to be "resurrected". This formation for fulte, cello and piano had been succesfully used by Weber in what was probably his best piece of chamber music. The work by Louise Farrenc is quite typical of her time, but avoids any spectacular virtuosity to concentrate on intrinsic qualities of the music itself. The form is classical but very well dominated.Moreover, sg he wrote "serious" music together with very few colleagues (e.g. Boellmann a a bit later on) at a quite sueeficial time when Offen bach was the king of music in France. These "happy few" paved the way to the wondeful musical French school between 1871 and 1914. Last but not least, she was one of our leading composer ladies together wih such names as Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre, Lili Boulanger or Germaine Tailleferre, and quite recently the Finnish born Katia Saariaho, who develops a very specvific language.
I randomly came across this composition. First time ever I've heard of Luise Farrenc. I'm astonished, such a delicate yet powerful, solid piece of music. I'd have easily mistaken it for an early Brahms.
If you click on the tab "show more" you will see Midsummer's Music. That is the name of the group. Other names were not listed, but I can re-check my CD to see if the names were printed in the booklet somewhere
Thanks. Would appreciate that, if there is more information. The sound quality of the flutist and the variety of color that he/she makes is particularly attractive in this recording.
David, it took a little digging, but here are the players: Jean Berkenstock, flute Walter Preucil, cello William Koehler, piano Jean and her husband Jim founded Wisconsin's Midsummer's Music. Yes, very fine playing. And thank you for all of your beautiful playing over the years. BTW, I went to school with Sue Carroll, who, iirc, played on a horn that used to be yours! Sue really played beautifully.
No, not to my ears. Bass would be historically more likely a generation or two earlier, and in Vienna, not Paris (see Mozart's flute quartet, KV 285, and Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, if played one on a part: no cello, only doublebass!). Viola da gamba, as a third consideration, was used in France later than elsewhere in Europe, but not for chamber music in mid-nineteenth century Paris.
As a double-bassist myself, I have to agree that it really does sound like a proficient bassist is playing the cello part here. That is, everywhere except for the higher registers (and/or when the cellist is playing on the A string)...which are just a bit too bright to be a bass. A slightly muffled recording and a very sonorous cello must be the trick's combination here ;-).
I have contacted Centaurus (the Publisher). The group is composed by: Jean Berkenstock, flute ; Mel Warner, clarinet ; James Berkenstock, bassoon ; Jonathan Boen, horn ; Laura Miller, violin ; Patrick Brennan, viola ; Walter Preucil, violoncello ; Gregory Sarchet, double bass ; William Koehler, piano ; James Berkenstock, artistic director
1. Allegro deciso
7:04 -- 2. Andante
12:10 -- 3. Scherzo
17:12 -- 4. Finale
I don't say this lightly - this composition is a masterwork!!!! WOW
Louise Farrenc belongs in the canon. Maybe she's finally getting there--where she always deserved to be.
In my opinion, this is one of the most beautiful chamber pieces wrote during the Romantic Period!

I'll write a romantic flute piece for all the flautists then 💀

i guess I am kinda randomly asking but do anyone know a good place to stream newly released movies online?
@Brecken Alejandro Flixportal :D
@Corey Otto thank you, I went there and it seems to work =) Appreciate it!
@Brecken Alejandro No problem =)
Gerard, in your list is missig Cécile Chaminade(1857-1944)!
Beautiful chamber music of the highest order. I also have just heard her magnificent first piano quintet.
This is very beautiful.....both music and performance, with added bonus of being able to follow score. Very much appreciated!
Excellent piece and great performance, thank you for sharing!!

Look for the sextet for piano and woodwind quintet. Very beautiful.
Beautiful piece of music...deserves to be enjoyed, savoured and loved!
Oh my so powerful and beautiful.... ❤️
Fantastic! This is such an amazing piece
Really nice and relaxing for a Sunday morning
SEHR SCHÖN !!! Amazing!!!!
Very modern and fresh. Thank you for posting!
0:00 Farrenc Did NOT Have To Write A Banger This Hard T0T
Marvelous!
Beautiful! Thank you for posting!
super.
Not much familiar with the composer but his music is beautiful coz of the Flute takes prominence among the trio!
If this doesn't put a smile on your face, what will?
j'ai eu cette sonate pour mon examen de passage en troisieme cycle
3:37 here I can hear the Finale of Schumann's Piano Concerto.
This is lovely. May I ask who the performers are? Ty ❤
These are my 3 favorite instruments so this song is like crack to me! haha
*Piece.
Who were the artists in this recording? Lovely players. They should get credit.

@@darrelrohar2703 Thank you! I appreciate the extra digging :)
Lovely performance. Is the cello actually a bass?
No, not to my ears.
