Ames Piano Quartet


DSL-92141 Cover

Sono Luminus has once again partnered with the Ames Piano Quartet to create their latest release, Hahn - Schmitt - Dubois, a celebration of the masterful work of composer Théodore Dubois and two of his most gifted students, Reynaldo Hahn and Florent Schmitt.

The Ames Piano Quartet, the resident chamber music ensemble at Iowa State University, holds a distinctive position in the chamber music field as one of the few professional touring piano quartets in the world.   The combination of their lush string sound, blended with the orchestral quality of the piano, produces an exquisite and rare sonority.   The Washington Post aptly described it as “one of the most heavenly combinations of instruments around.”
