The Quartet Sine Nomine has recorded quite frequently for Claves, but this
particular Ravel/Faure disc on Naxos is by the Ad Libitum Quartet.
I find the Faure a fine piece of music but certainly no masterpiece. Also,
it hurts the Faure to be played immendiately after the great Ravel String
Quartet.

This disc came out a number of years before the Ad Libitum disc.
Personally, I much prefer the Ad Libitum, although the Debussy is
definitely a more rewarding work than the Faure.
