| |  | Fauré - Cello Sonatas Nos. 1 & 2
Kathryn Stott (piano), Christian Poltéra (cello) & Priya Mitchell (violin) The Cello Sonata No. 1 in D minor, Op. 109 is a fascinating and unsettling product of those dark days of the First World War. Fauré’s youngest son was in the army and it is not hard to hear something of his father’s anxiety in the sonata. The Cello Sonata No. 2 in G minor, Op. 117 was written between March and November 1921 and this happier time is reflected in more contented music. Fauré’s friend Vincent d’Indy, spoke for many when he complimented his fellow composer on the sheer ‘youthfulness’ of this music: ‘plus the mastery of maturity. And it’s so beautiful!’ These works are here joined by Nocturne No. 13 in B minor, Op. 119, completed after the death of Fauré’s closest friend, Camille Saint-Saëns. It was Fauré’s last solo piano work and completed the second of two great work cycles, the Barcarolles and Nocturnes, which between them chart the course of Fauré’s composing life and contain some of the composer’s most intimate thoughts. The Thirteenth Nocturne is as well the summation of the two sets. ‘Its grip is so powerful’, wrote the great French pianist Yvonne Lefébure, ‘that there is no place for rational explanation…, it is the only example of a work in which not a single note could be changed or removed’. Completing the disc is the Piano Trio in D minor, Op. 120, which despite its moments of drama unfolds with an easy-flowing serenity. ‘Kathryn Stott reinforces her position as one of the finest Fauré interpreters of her generation’ BBC Music Magazine “Christian Poltéra… phrases sensitively and makes the most of the composer's dynamic markings… Kathryn Stott is an ideal partner, managing her pedalling levels to produce a variety of textures.” BBC Music Magazine, March 2008 **** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

'Fresh from their triumph at the Gramophone Awards with Schumann, the Florestans turn their attention to the French trio repertoire and, in particular, to a composer with whom pianist Susan Tomes and cellist Richard Lester have an especial affinity: Gabriel Fauré. Of the three works presented here, the Fauré is the latest (1923), but stylistically the D Minor Trio is as conservative as the G Minor Trio of the 18-year-old Debussy, although Fauré's late essay in the form is unquestionably the greater work. The Florestans play both with a rhythmic urgency in the fast movements and rapt concentration in the Andantinos that take the breath away. They are even finer in Ravel's masterpiece, playing with a technical bravura and sheer panache to match the greatest interpreters of this work on disc. Another absolute winner' (The Sunday Times) | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
