The general tenor of this music may have been old-fashioned for the time, and certainly out of step with the pioneering work in which Blanc’s contemporaries were engaged, but the Fabergés take this optimistic music at face value and present a performance that is at once both light-hearted and serious about the validity of the music. Largely there is enough rhythmic drive through all the quintets, brought out with enough infectious energy by the Fabergés (particularly in the quirky Tarantella of the Seventh Quintet), to make this recording far more than a chamber music curiosity.
