SM 449

The CD brings together works by six composers, male and female, all of whom except one were born and trained in French-speaking countries. Even Paul Juon had Romanic roots, since his grandfather had emigrated around 1830 from the Swiss canton of Grisons to Russia. Short pieces have been grouped around César Franck’s Sonata in A major: composed between 1880 and 1924, all – except Ernest Bloch’s three lieder movements From Jewish Life (1924), whose Judaistic timbre became Bloch’s trademark – conform to our present-day perception of a rhapsodic fin-de-siècle sound.

Works:

•Ernest Bloch: From Jewish Life für Cello & Klavier
• Cecile Chaminade: Piece romantique op. 9 Nr. 1 für Klavier
• Gabriel Faure: Berceuse op. 16 für Cello & Klavier
• Gabriel Faure: Toujours op. 21 Nr. 2
• Gabriel Faure: Sicilienne op. 78
