The Phantasy Piano Quartet, completed in June 1910, reveals Bridge's early style at its most fluent. Writing in the 1948 Aldeburgh Festival programme book, Benjamin Britten revealed the essence of this work perfectly: "Sonorous yet lucid, with clear, clean lines, grateful to listen to and to play. It is the music of a practical musician, brought up in German orthodoxy, but who loved French romanticism and conception of sound -- Brahms happily tempered with Fauré." - Hyperion Records.
Frank Bridge composed the Phantasy Piano Quartet in 1910, in the style of a 16th century "fancy". Consisting of one movement, the Phantasy is something of an entire four movement piano quartet compressed into 12 minutes and played straight through. Stylistically, Bridge's work could be described as Brahmsian with an impressionistic air. The piece is justifiably regarded as one of Bridge's best compositions, and should not be overlooked. - sharmusic.com
