The Chausson Concert for Piano, Violin and String Quartet is one of the great masterpieces of French Romanticism. Today we have a sterling rendition from some of the finest French instrumentalists of a later generation.
In this latest addition to my series of recordings by Zino Francescatti, the violinist is joined by pianist Robert Casadesus and the Guilet Quartet (at the time, Daniel Guilet and Bernard Robbins, violins, Emanuel Vardi, viola, Benar Heifetz, cello).

The cover announces that the record was released to mark the 100th anniversary of Chausson's 1855 birth. The sessions actually occurred in December 1954 in Columbia's 30th Street Studio, New York.
Francescatti and Casadesus often performed together and are at one in this well-recorded performance.
