Franck and Chopin Cello Sonatas with Jacqueline Bourges-Monoury

Franck and Chopin Cello Sonatas with Jacqueline Bourges-Monoury

This recording was made in an especially inspiring environment – the unique view of the surrounding mountains and the Geneva lake, the architecture of the Fallot castle with its fascinating organ in the middle and, most of all, the musical history of these rooms. L. Vierne (organ player and favorite student of C. Franck), E. Ysaÿe (violinist, to whom Franck dedicated his sonata), J. Thibaud (who played Franck in the most authentic way), A. Cortot (one of the most authentic Chopin interpret), P. Casals (one of the greatest cellists) among many other musicians and friends of the Fallot family, were often spending time in the castle and playing in these same rooms. We strongly felt this special spirit and the connection to the music of C. Franck and F. Chopin.
