Clotilde in Paris. Although there are a few surviving works from his earlier years, his posthumous reputation is based almost entirely on a handful of compositions from the last 12 years of his life. It’s important to remember that the late 19th-century classical music scene in Europe was dominated by two opposing groups: on one side, the "music of the future" championed by Franz Liszt and his son-in-law, Richard Wagner, and on the other, the "back-to-Beethoven" philosophy of absolute music promoted by Johannes Brahms and his followers. With his fondness for chromaticism and cyclic form, Franck became a leading figure of the Wagnerian influence that swept through French music, an influence that would eventually provoke a backlash from Claude Debussy a quarter-century later. Franck didn’t invent cyclic form, which can be found in the works of Haydn, Beethoven, and Brahms, but he elevated it to a central principle of composition, effectively turning it into a new technique. In the Quintet in F Minor, cyclic form provides thematic and emotional unity across its three movements. For example, the second subject of the first movement reappears, albeit varied, in the central section of the second movement, and returns multiple times in the finale. It is said that this quintet was inspired by Franck’s mistress, and that his wife, Mme. Franck, was so aware of its origin that she refused to listen to it. Whatever its true inspiration, the quintet is filled with passion and energy, all of which is brilliantly conveyed in this performance. The recording was made shortly after Heifetz and his colleagues performed the quintet at the opening of the Heifetz-Piatigorsky Concerts in Hollywood.

Wunderschöne Interpretation dieses spätromantischen und perfekt komponierten Quintetts im veränderlichen Tempo mit klarem Klang des Klaviers, seidigen Tönen beider Violinen, mildem Ton der Bratsche und tiefem Ton des Violincellos. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und echt lyrisch. Im Gegensatz klingt der dritte Satz echt beweglich und auch energisch. Die intime und perfekt entsprechende Miteinanderwirkung zwischen den fünf Virtuosen ist wahrlich ergreifend. Wunderbar vom Anfang bis zum Ende!
Thanks! If anyone likes the late works, but is unfamiliar with his earlier music, it is, in my opinion, well worth investigating, e.g. the very early piano trios from the 1840s.
