Info for Schubert: Piano Quintet, D. 667 The Trout & Fantasy in C Major, D. 934

Der Geiger Guillaume Chilemme und der Pianist Nathanaël Gouin haben sich ein schubertianisch sonniges Programm ausgedacht. Wenn uns der Wiener Komponist normalerweise mit den tragischen Anklängen seiner Sprache berührt, so erfreut er uns hier mit seiner vitalen und lächelnden Energie.

Das Album beginnt mit einem musikalischen Treffen mit Freunden, genau wie jenes, das der Komposition des A-Dur-Quintetts vorausging. Das Werk trägt den Beinamen "Die Forelle" und greift in der Tat die Melodie des vierten Satzes zu dem gleichnamigen Lied auf. Diese Partitur ist kein traditionelles Quintett für Klavier und Streichquartett, sondern für Klavier, Violine, Viola, Cello und Kontrabass. Es schafft ein sommerliches Klima, das auch danach nicht verblasst.

Mit der Fantasia für Violine und Klavier in C-Dur wird das Programm dann sogar noch intimer. Die gleiche angenehme, sonnendurchflutete Atmosphäre kommt auf. Auch hier schöpfen die Instrumente ihre Lyrik aus der unerschöpflichen Stimme Schuberts, des Vaters des Liedes.

Die Wanderungen von Schuberts Inspiration durchqueren die Pfade der Phantasie - das deutsche Wort Phantasie bezeichnet das Reich der Imagination und des Traums - und treffen auf die der Freundschaft in der Musik. Ein Gebiet, auf dem Guillaume Chilemme, Nathanaël Gouin und ihre Gäste den Erfindungen ihrer Komplizenschaft freien Lauf lassen.

"Die Qualität des Zusammenspiels zwischen ihnen ist bewundernswert, aber dadurch, dass sie eher zueinander als zu den hinteren Reihen spielen, ist der Effekt ein zurückhaltender, fast selbstverleugnender... [in der Fantasie] bewegen sich die Mikrofone, um die Details einzufangen, die sie aus diesem Miniatur-Meisterwerk herausholen... Chilemmes Ton ist süß mit einem Hauch von Körnigkeit." (Gramophone Magazine)
