Digital Booklet

“this disc is an absolute keeper; it’s sensational… it’s hard to imagine that Ysaÿe could have done better.”
- Record Review
“The late-romantic lusciousness and febrile intensity are here balanced in a way that’s altogether to the music’s advantage.”
- The Irish Times
“few performers have reached into [the Franck's] incandescent erotic passion as this duo do here. The piano part is famously virtuosic, but Melnikov, an established soloist as well as Faust’s regular partner, makes light of its difficulties. Their vision of the piece and its turbulent emotions is grand in scale, almost operatic.”
- The Observer
Star violinist Isabelle Faust joins with long-time collaborator Alexander Melnikov and the Salagon String Quartet for this Harmonia Mundi recording of two works by César Franck and Ernest Chausson. Performing with gut strings and a 1880s Erard piano, Faust and Melnikov present an unimaginably tender rendition of Franck’s Sonata for Piano and Violin in A Major, followed by Chausson’s unusual Concert for Violin, Piano and String Quartet.
