Lynn Harrell (cello) & Bruno Canino (piano) As he explains in his liner notes for this CD, Lynn Harrell uses the voice as his point of departure for this collection of encores. They are largely reflective pieces, with a bit of fun such as the unfairly forgotten Glazunov Spanish Serenade thrown in for good measure, and this once popular disc now makes a return to the catalogue, at budget price. | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | 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 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

| |  | Fauré - Works for Cello & Piano
Ophélie Gaillard (cello) & Bruno Fontaine (piano) Born in 1845, the French composer and organist Gabriel Fauré is now acknowledged as one of the most important writers of chamber music of his period. The delicate and elegant style of his music, redolent of the salons of Parisian high-society, is underpinned by a core of emotional depth and an often adventurous approach to harmony. Although he did not compose a great deal of music for the solo cello, he seems to have had a special affinity for the instrument and its lyrical qualities. It is therefore no surprise that these works have become favourites with both audiences and performers. This recording contains all the pieces originally written by Fauré for cello and piano, including one of his most beautiful and enduring short compositions, the “Elégie”, opus 24, and the two sonatas, opus 109 and 119. | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |

| |  | Four Centuries of French Piano Music
“A veritable A-Z of French piano works from King Louis XIII to Boulez. Katsaris is a most fascinating musical journey, the barnstorming Liszt/Katsaris arrangement of the Marseillaise being an obvious highlight.” BBC Music Magazine, May 2008 **** “Take as a whole I found this a wonderfully entertaining programme. Katsaris's… playing has the stamp of an engaging and original personality.” Gramophone Magazine, April 2008 | | | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 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.
