Note from original submission (copy from backcover)
Fauré’s two cello sonatas are compact, beautifully written works whose musical language, with its many subtle changes of tonality and gift for melody, has been described as conveying ‘the power of tranquil thought’. Written in the summer of 1917, during the First World War, the neglected First Sonata begins with a troubled Allegro, followed by an eloquent Andante and a sparkling Finale. The C minor Andante of the Second Sonata has its origin in a Chant funèbre commissioned for the celebration in May 1921 of the centenary of the death of Napoleon. This recital also includes an arrangement of the ever-popular song Après un rêve, as well as the virtuosic Papillon. ℗ & © 2008. CD made in Canada; printed & assembled in USA. Comes in standard-size jewel case with clear tray. 8pp booklet has liner notes in English & French. Playing time 63:06.

Recorded 5-8 December, 2005 at the Deutschlandfunk Kammermusiksaal, Cologne, Germany.
