The gifted Belgian Quatuor Danel turn to two masterpieces by Cesar Franck: his passionate Piano Quintet and the String Quartet. The three-movement Quintet, like Brahmss op. 34 an expansion of the Schumannian model, is one of Francks most infamous works.

Francks String Quartet, his last major work, was similarly acclaimed by its first listeners.
