Information - Ipswich Chamber Music Society – Rossetti Ensemble
One of the first piano quartets ever written, Mozart’s K. 478 still ranks among the finest examples of the genre. Ravel’s Mother Goose Suite was originally composed for piano duet, so a transcription of it for three stringed instruments and piano is not as outlandish as it may sound! Vincent d’Indy (1851-1931) became a pupil of Franck on the strength of his early, but nowadays rarely-heard, Piano Quartet and went on to become one of France’s most influential teachers whose own students included Honegger, Milhaud, Satie and even Cole Porter.
The Rossetti Ensemble (www.rossettiensemble.online) was established only in 2018, but its members are all established musicians with illustrious careers as chamber musicians, soloists and more. They will shortly be recording the piano quartets of d’Indy and Chausson for the Naxos label.
