About the album

Een prachtig programma met grootse Franse Cellosonates
Dmitry Ferschtmanns soloalbum met grootse Russische Cellosonates was een internationaal succes, en zijn bijdragen aan de opnames van Tsjaikovski met Nieuw Sinfonietta Amsterdam zijn ook met niets anders dan de hoogst mogelijke lof ontvangen.

Dit album, met grootse Franse Cellosonates, was echter wegens omstandigheden uitgesteld, maar werd al vanuit alle hoeken van de wereld aangevraagd, en heeft daarom de hoogste prioriteit gekregen. Dit prachtige programma toont Ferschtman en zijn net zo buitengewoon getalenteerde begeleider Mila Baslawskaya opnieuw op hun best. De Sonate van Franck, oorspronkelijk gecomponeerd voor viool en piano, is het virtuele eigendom van de grote cellisten van de 20e eeuw geworden, en Ferschtmanns uitvoering geeft glans aan dit fantastische werk, een favoriet van lang geleden. Après un rêve van Fauré is natuurlijk te horen in de beroemde bewerking van Casals, en de drie andere werken van Fauré zijn originele composities voor cello en piano. Debussy’s Sonate is de ideale conclusie voor een dergelijk programma.

Composer(s)

Claude Debussy

Claude Debussy was a French composer. He and Maurice Ravel were the most prominent figures associated with impressionist music, though Debussy disliked the term when applied to his compositions. He was made Chevalier of the Legion of Honour in 1903. He was among the most influential composers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and his use of non-traditional scales and chromaticism influenced many composers who followed. Debussy's music is noted for its sensory content and frequent usage of non-traditional tonalities. The prominent French literary style of his period was known as Symbolism, and this movement directly inspired Debussy both as a composer and as an active cultural participant Among his most famous works are his Clair de Lune, his Three Nocturnes...

César Franck

César Franck was simultaneously a child prodigy and a late bloomer. His parents quickly discovered his enormous talent, but they were mostly interested in the money and fame that he might generate. Because of this, he was presented as a piano virtuoso, without a focus on composition. Unfortunately, his virtuoso career was less promising then they had hoped, and he started earning his money more as a teacher and organist. Composing stayed in the background, but in the mean time he did get some notable students, such as Henri Duparc. After a while, a sort of 'Franck school' of students arose, albeit against his will, who affectionately called him ‘Pater seraphicus’. It was not until he was 50 before he started...

It was not until he was 50 before he started to receive some acclaim as a composer, and from his 52nd he started a very prolific period, lasting until his death at the age of 68.
Nowadays, Franck is mostly known for his instrumental music, peaking at the famous Violin Sonata in A. Besides this work,, his small collection of organ works was particularly influential.

Gabriel Fauré

Gabriel Fauré was a French Romantic composer, organist, pianist and teacher. He was one of the foremost French composers of his generation, and his musical style influenced many 20th-century composers. Among his best-known works are his Pavane, Requiem, Nocturnes for piano and the songs Après un rêve and Clair de lune. Although his best-known and most accessible compositions are generally his earlier ones, Fauré composed many of his most highly regarded works in his later years, in a more harmonically and melodically complex style. Fauré's music has been described as linking the end of Romanticism with the modernism of the second quarter of the 20th century. When he was born, Chopin was still composing, and by the time of Fauré's death,...

Fauré's music has been described as linking the end of Romanticism with the modernism of the second quarter of the 20th century. When he was born, Chopin was still composing, and by the time of Fauré's death, jazz and the atonal music of the Second Viennese School were being heard. During the last twenty years of his life, he suffered from increasing deafness. In contrast with the charm of his earlier music, his works from this period are sometimes elusive and withdrawn in character, and at other times turbulent and impassioned.
