Fauré Quartett & Annette Dasch - After Hours (2024) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

"After Hours" is the new concept album by the Fauré Quartet. The world-famous piano quartet has consisted of the same members since it was founded in 1995. They present an album full of encores by composers such as Debussy, Strauss and Dvorák. These pieces are complemented by original compositions dedicated to the ensemble by composer friends such as Jarkko Riihimäki. Two other friends, clarinettist Matthias Schorn and soprano Annette Dasch, perform as soloists. Encores defy convention and have the potential to surprise and captivate listeners in a special way. And that is exactly what this album does.
