Violin Sonatas

Carlock, Sandra; Combet, Guillaume

We first had a chance to work with the awesome American pianist Sandra Carlock in 2005. Her recording of Piano Music by Edward McDowell was met with unanimous praise: ''Such music requires a specially committed pianist and it would be difficult to imagine a more glowing or ardent champion than Sandra Carlock'' (Gramophone, August 2005). ''Sandra Carlock proves herself a passionate and persuasive advocate for the composer, responding to all the musical challenges with a rare insight and breathtaking dexterity...'' (International Piano, July-August 2005) ''Her touch and sense of lyrical line is quite exceptional...She delivers the very difficult Etude de concert with consummate ease.'' (International Record Review) Sandra and her artistic partner, violinist Guillaume Combet are resident in Philadelphia and since founding the Carlock-Combet Duo three years ago, they have delighted audiences throughout the Philadelphia, Metropolitan and Delaware Valley areas with their musicianship and adventurous programming. Their recitals of French repertoire are always warmly received and their performance on this disc brings added depth to the much-lvoed Franck Violin Sonata as well as brilliance and freshness to the Sonatas by Poulenc and Saint-Saëns.
