SAINT-SAENS: Violin Sonatas [CD de audio] Mauro Tortorelli, Angela Meluso and Saint-Saens

Sonata no.1 in D minor op.75; Berceuse in B flat major op.38; Sonata n.2 in E flat major op.102; Triptyque op.136 (Prémice; Congolese Visión ; Joyeuseté) - Although today they are on the margins of the great concert repertoire, the sonatas for violin and piano by Camille Saint-Saëns undoubtedly deserve to be performed much more frequently, since their charm, their brilliance and his unmistakably French spirit always manage to conquer both the performers and the general public. This disc presents both sonatas for violin and piano by the great French composer and two shorter pieces, the Tryptique op.136, in which Saint-Saëns inserted a delightful series of chinoiseries, and the delightful Berceuse op.38, in the splendid performance by Mauro Tortorelli and Angela Meluso, soloists who in the recent past had the opportunity to highlight their great talent. The booklet contains the cover notes on the works performed and the biographies of the artists. Angela Meluso, piano.
