Germany's Fauré Quartett, a rare example of a piano quartet with fixed membership, is among Europe's leading chamber music ensembles. The group has expanded the piano quartet repertory with commissions and arrangements. Since its founding, the members have been violinist Erika Geldsetzer, violist Sascha Frömbling, cellist Konstantin Heidrich, and pianist Dirk Mommertz. In 2004, the Fauré Quartett became quartet-in-residence at the Hochschule für Musik Karlsruhe. The quartet has published and frequently performed a volume of popular song arrangements titled Popsongs. The Fauré Quartett began its recording career in 2005 with an album of works by Schumann and Kirchner. In 2007, the group moved to Deutsche Grammophon and released an album of Brahms piano quartets and appeared on the Rufus Wainwright album Yellow Lounge. The quartet devoted an album to the Popsongs in 2009 and devoted an album to Fauré's piano quartets in 2020.
