Reminiscences - Cello & Piano

Camille Thomas (cello) & Julien Libeer (piano)

Duparc: L'Invitation au voyage Fauré: Élégie in C minor, Op. 24 Après un rêve, Op. 7 No. 1 Les berceaux, Op. 23 No. 1 Sicilienne, Op. 78 Franck, C: Cello Sonata in A major Saint-Saëns: Le carnaval des animaux: Le Cygne Suite for Cello & Piano, Op. 16: II. Sérénade Ysaÿe: Cello Sonata Op. 28

Camille Thomas and Julien Liebeer, ardent champions of chamber music, have devised an exceptionally varied yet coherent recital of French music for cello and piano based around two large-scale compositions: César Franck’s illustrious 'Sonata' and the rarely-heard but splendid 'Sonata for unaccompanied cello' op.28 by Eugène Ysaÿe. The programme also includes celebrated short pieces by Duparc, Fauré and Saint-Saëns, all of them bywords for lyricism and imagination. An invitation to a universe of dreams and poetry, from two artists of the new generation who met on the train to Prussia Cove in 2012. This is their first recording.
