Ina-Esther Joost Ben-Sasson (cello) & Allan Sternfield (piano) Fauré’s musical language bridged a gap between 19th-century Romanticism and the music that appeared with the new century, developing and evolving, but retaining its own fundamental characteristics. His gift for melody, subtle harmonic idiom, judicious and highly personal use of contemporary innovations make for enriching listening, whether in the popular Sicilienne, Pavane and other short pieces or in his two tuneful and impeccably crafted Cello Sonatas. Since receiving top prizes, including the Diploma of the Tchaikovsky Competition, Moscow, and First Prize of the International Cello Competition Belgrade, Ina-Esther Joost Ben-Sasson has been in high demand as a soloist all over the world. |

| |  | Fauré - Cello Sonatas Nos. 1 & 2
Maria Kliegel (cello) & Nina Tichman (piano) Fauré’s two cello sonatas are compact, beautifully written works whose musical language, with its many subtle changes of tonality and gift for melody, has been described as conveying ‘the power of tranquil thought’. Written in the summer of 1917, during the First World War, the neglected First Sonata begins with a troubled Allegro, followed by an eloquent Andante and a sparkling Finale. The C minor Andante of the Second Sonata has its origin in a Chant funèbre commissioned for the celebration in May 1921 of the centenary of the death of Napoleon. This recital also includes an arrangement of the ever-popular song Après un rêve, as well as the virtuosic Papillon. “Nina Tichman uses Fauré's powerful left-hand lines correctly as counterweight to the cello's soaring tunes. Impassioned playing from her Kliegel gives us not only the two sonatas, but also the Elégie and even the Romance as the fine, strong works they are.” BBC Music Magazine, July 2008 *** “In both sonatas and in the shorter pieces Kliegel plays with an impressively wide dynamic range down to a mete whisper of pianissimo, perfectly articulated.” Gramophone Magazine, 2008 Awards Issue | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Fauré - Works For Orchestra
Henri Demarquette (cello), Jérôme Ducros (flute), Juliette Hurel (flute) & Jean-Marc Philips-Varjabédian (violin) Orchestre de Bretagne, Moshe Atzmon Ballad, Berceuse, Elegie, Fantaises, Romance, all titles which define themselves as Gabriel Fauré’s poetic and captivating imagination. This first complete recording of the concertante works, composed between 1878 and 1919 will surely became another landmark for the Timpani label. “…the performance here of the surviving movement of the Concerto, with Jean-Marc Phillips-Varjabédian an eloquent and accomplished soloist, proves that the orchestration fits the music extremely well. Pianist Jérôme Ducros captures the Ballade's idiosyncratic blend of languor and virtuosity... he is a strong advocate for the Fantaisie, one of the host of underplayed works from Fauré's old age.” BBC Music Magazine, July 2009 ***** “…all these works are finely performed and recorded, making this an indispensable acquisition for all lovers of a still gravely misunderstood composer.” Gramophone Magazine, October 2009 | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |

Jian Wang & Göran Söllscher “The works are well chosen, sensitively arranged and tastefully ordered. More importantly, though, the playing is exquisite. Rarely have I heard Wang so beautifully restrained; rarely have I heard Söllscher so naturally expressive.” Gramophone Magazine, October 2007 “…the chemistry between Wang and Söllscher producing performances that are extremely polished but spontaneous in this intimately recorded programme.” BBC Music Magazine, August 2007 **** | | | This item is currently out of stock at the UK distributor.
