With the present release the gifted Belgian Quatuor Danel ensemble turn to two masterpieces by Cesar Franck: his passionate Piano Quintet and the String Quartet. The three-movement Quintet, like Brahms's op. 34 an expansion of the Schumannian model, is one of Franck's most infamous works. It immediately established itself, and a second performance with the pianist Marie Poitevin, the later dedicatee of the Prelude, Choral et Fugue, convinced the members of the Societe Nationale. Franck's String Quartet, his last major work, was similarly acclaimed by it's first listeners. After it's first performance in April 1890, with tears in his eyes, Cesar Franck is said to have told his pupil Vincent d'Indy, "Now you see: at long last the public is beginning to understand me."
