Description
Philippe Graffin's voyage of discovery researching little-known works for the violin by well-known masters has already seen a particularly well-received disc of Rare French works for violin and orchestra, and now we have a disc of works for violin and piano that also emerged from his investigations. These pieces have been uncovered in private collections and various libraries, including the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.
These are fascinating transcriptions by Saint-Saens, one of the most celebrated pianists of his time, and the equally celebrated violinist Ysaye. Having assisted in bringing them to light, Graffin performs them here with his customary virtuosity and grace, accompanied by the equally deft French pianist, Pascal Devoyon, on a disc that will educate, delight and amaze.
