FRANCK: CELLO SONATA etc (Erato 9029539226)

CELLISTS enjoy hijacking Cesar Franck’s Violin Sonata but they can get a little carried away with beautiful sounds. That is what happens to young French cellist Gautier Capucon in the first movement. Chopin’s Introduction And Polonaise Brillante is used as one of the duo’s makeweights. ★★★★✩
