Kyung-Wha Chung, Radu Lupu & Osian Ellis The Melos Ensemble “Kyung-Wha Chung's classic recording, made in London in 1977, has been a favourite since it first saw the light of day on LP in 1980. There is a freshness to her playing that conveys the free-flowing ease of the music, with melodies beautifully shaped and rhythms lithe. She maintains a particularly fluid relationship with her pianist, Radu Lupu, who revels in the fact that Franck's keyboard part is no mere accompaniment but an equally virtuoso and essential element of the whole.” The Telegraph, 21st June 2008 (on Frank's Violin Sonata) | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

This charming double album pays tribute to a very French
institution - the Paris Instrumental Quintet, renamed
following World War Two after harpist Pierre Jamet. All the
works on the second disc were written for, or
commissioned by, the Quintet, and recorded soon after
their premières, so that this release is an important
historical document as well as a very civilised listening
experience. And sooo French! | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 6 working days. |

| |  | Autour de la Harpe
Jonathan Crow (violin), Robert Crowley (clarinet), Marianne Dugal (violin), Neal Gripp (viola), Timothy Hutchins (flute), Brian Manker (cello), Jennifer Swartz (harp) The Montreal Chamber Players, all members of the Orchestre symphonique de Montreal who are also avid chamber-music players join Jennifer Swartz, principal harp with the OSM and a prolific soloist, for this recording of French works from the post-Romantic and Impressionistic periods. They play works written by Ravel in his youth, and by Debussy at the peak of his career. They also play masterpieces by three less known but equally indispensable composers: an ode to the sea beside which he grew up by Ropartz, strongly influenced by the Breton folk tradition; one of the very last works that Koechlin completed, amply demonstrating his unerring instinct as an orchestrator; and Roussel's Sérénade, a musical snapshot of Paris in the Roaring Twenties, full of vivid impressions and effervescent poetry. | | | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days. |
