| |  | Enescu: Chamber Music 1895-1906
Tatiana Samouil (violin), Gérard Caussé (viola), Justus Grimm (cello), Vincent Lucas (flute), Frédéric Mellardi (trumpet) & Claudia Bara (piano) All the works included in this collection were composed around 1900, during one of Enescu’s most productive periods. The artists performing them are Slavonic and French, contributing to making Enescu’s music universal. The works includes Ballade for violin and piano, Concert piece for viola and piano and Aubade for string trio. “The performances are warm and sympathetic throughout, underpinned by Claudia Bara's sensitive playing...The instrumental soloists all acquit themselves with aplomb, not least cellist Justus Grimm and flautist Vincent Lucas, although the performance I admired most was Gerard Causse's of the viola Konzertstuck” Gramophone Magazine, April 2012 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

| |  | Fauré and His Circle
Kathryn Thomas (flute) & Richard Shaw (piano) “Great British Hope,” Kathryn Thomas presents a beautiful collection of flute music by Gabriel Faure and his contemporaries. With the support of the composers Franck, Massenet, Fauré, Duparc and Saint-Saëns, the Société Nationale de Musique was set up in February 1871 to promote its distinctive symphonic and chamber music concerts. This disc presents a selection of music that featured in these concerts, many of which were premiered by France’s leading flautist at the time, Paul Taffanel. Thanks to Taffanel, a tradition of commissioning works especially for these concours began to emerge. At first the commissions were just for the flute competition but very soon, under Taffanel’s influence, new works began to be commissioned for all the wind and brass instruments. “Kathryn Thomas plays with impeccable technique and tuning, neat phrasing, and an attractive tone. Richard Shaw is a sympathetic accompanist, and Lawrence Power's eloquent viola in the Duruflé is a real bonus.” BBC Music Magazine, July 2009 **** “For her debut album, the gifted flautist Kathryn Thomas offers pieces reflective of the late-19th century "Ars Gallica" movement in French music, a rich period for flute composition largely because of the abilities of the virtuoso Paul Taffanel.” The Independent, 13th March 2009 *** | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |
