Thanks to the combined talents of Isabelle Faust (performing on a gut-strung violin) and Alexander Melnikov (on a period
piano), César Frank's Sonata reclaims the incomparable sonority and texture which reveal its intended poetry and force. The
celebrated Concert by Ernest Chausson likewise regains its astonishing freshness in this new light which delicately
illuminates the intimate sound world of the composer.
