About

- Jean-Francois Dandrieu (ca. 1682-1738) was a French Baroque composer and organist.

- Louise Farrenc was one of the first successful female composers in 19th century France. Born in a family of high artistic activity, she became an accomplished pianist (having had lessons with Moscheles and Hummel), eventually holding a professorship at the Paris Conservatoire.

- Farrenc’s early compositions were in cultivated Salon style, her later works however are of a more ambitious nature, she composed large scale chamber music and even symphonies.

- Farrenc wrote a substantial body of chamber music, of which Robert Schumann wrote: ‘So sure in outline, so logical in development … that one must fall under their charm, especially since a subtle aroma of romanticism hovers over them.’

- This new recording presents the beautiful, full blooded romantic Cello Sonata, a gem in its genre, and two Piano Trios, written in a perfect blend of German craftsmanship and French charm.

- This is the third Farrenc recording organized by pianist Linda Di Carlo, whose recording of the Violin Sonatas was met with great critical acclaim.

Farrenc’s melodies are beautiful in a way to live for and live with…even if you have one or more of the works on this disc in other recordings, the performances here by Di Carlo, Galaktionov, and Cicchese are simply too finely spun and turned out to resist.
