The Charis Ensemble presents three of Jean Françaix’s principal chamber works in a fresh new interpretation in which instrumental perfection and sophisticated wit form a spirited symbiosis.
“The Octet of 1972 is the most engaging of the present works: starting in a romantic pastoral mood, ... and the finale, scored with coruscatingly brilliant ingenuity, consists of a series of parodistic Viennese waltzes, Great fun. The recording is admirable.”
