专辑简介

This is a recording of rarely heard music for two cellos by the great French cello masters of the romantic era. The focus of the album is the music of Auguste Franchomme who was a close friend of Chopin. The 12 caprices and études ( many recorded for the first time ) presented here are in feeling and texture reminiscent in style to the great Polish composer.

Four works by Baudiot, Duport, and Servais complete this unusual recording.

Cellists Coenraad Bloemendal and Sybil Shanahan play these challenging works with great spirit and musicality. A must for cellists and lovers of cello music.
