Kaiser-Schmidt Guitar Duo (Jessica Kaiser and Jakob Schmidt) play and arrangement of Dolly Suite op. 56 by Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924). This comes via their YouTube Channel. The Dolly Suite, Op. 56, is a collection of pieces for piano four-hands by Gabriel Fauré. Here’s the duo’s YouTube blurb: “The captivating and charming melodies of Gabriel Fauré’s are shaped by a fragile beauty, giving the whole suite a very intimate and personal touch. In the 5th movement Tendresse, the profound simplicity that characterizes a lot of Fauré’s music is paired with a subtle chromaticism and harmonic shifts that foreshadow ahead of their time. The whole suite is available on our Debut CD, which you can order on our website.”
