Founded in 2010 by cellist Niklas Schmidt, "Fontenay Classics International" stands for fine chamber music, superior sound and exquisite design. FCI presents both young ensembles as well as recordings of Mr. Schmidt himself. Mostly first-time recordings, this disc offers much material for further musicological research and discussion. Text clouds surround the individual interpretations, as is the performers’ practice during staged recitals; the music can thus be enjoyed and analyzed in the company of introductory accounts of these great artists and their circles of friends.
