Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of Guillaume Lekeu's chamber music with the release of "Lekeu: La musique de chambre I." This captivating album, released on January 1, 1991, under the Ricercar label, offers a profound exploration of Lekeu's early works, showcasing his unique compositional voice. Spanning a total of 57 minutes, the album features two of Lekeu's most notable works: the Sonate pour piano et violon in G Major, V. 64, and the Quatuor à clavier (inachevé) in B Minor, V. 62. The sonata, with its three distinct movements, takes the audience through a journey of varying tempos and emotions, from the moderate and passionate first movement to the very slow and animated third movement. The incomplete piano quartet, on the other hand, presents two movements that are as intense as they are beautiful, with the first movement marked by a painful urgency and the second by a slow, passionate melody. This album is a testament to Lekeu's talent and his enduring influence on the chamber music genre.
