After his acclaimed Bach Suites, cellist Bruno Philippe returns to recording with an ambitious program spanning nearly 80 years of French music. Centered around Saint-Saëns's masterful First Concerto, a chamber music program blending original cello and piano repertoire (Poulenc's Sonata, Fauré's Romance and Papillon) and transcriptions (Franck's Sonata, Fauré's Après un rêve). The golden age of the French cello From the overt romanticism of Saint-Saëns to the nostalgia-laden modernity of Poulenc, Bruno Philippe takes us on a journey through (almost) a century of French cello music. Alongside Tanguy de Williencourt, he also champions the cello version of Franck's famous Sonata for Violin and Piano, one of the absolute pinnacles of 19th-century chamber literature.
