  • Description

    The present CD, entitled The Franco-Belgian Album, as the name indicates, is dedicated to music for violin and piano by French and Belgian composers from the golden age of Romanticism. Belgium is represented by Henri Vieuxtemps and Cesar Franck, while France is represented by Gabriel Faure and Camille Saint-Saens. With the exception of Faure's Berceuse Op. 16 and the virtuoso Caprice d'apres l'Etude en forme de Valse Op. 52 by Saint-Saens, which appear frequently in the repertoire of many concert violinists, the Belgian works, by Vieuxtemps and Franck, respectively, are practically unknown to the public, which is strange, since they are pieces of great musical and artistic value that quite justly deserve to be played and recorded more.
