CDPoème - Music for the Romantic Violin / Miwako Abe
|
Product details
The internationally renowned violinist Miwako Abe and the pianist David McSkimming play works by a group of French composers who were all working in Paris at the end of the nineteenth century, sometimes inspiring each other and occasionally forming rivalries.
There are beautiful works from Massenet, Fauré and Ravel, lyrical-epic works by Ysaÿe and Chausson, the virtuoso Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso by Saint-Saëns, and from Debussy, The Girl with the Flaxen Hair, and the late violin sonata.
