Cesar Franck

  • #ClassicsaDay #Stokowski Week 4

    For April, 2021, the Classics a Day Team celebrates a legend — Leopold Stokowski. He was born in April (1882), and became a cultural icon. His recording legacy spans over 60 years. And whether he was conducting a premier orchestra or a group of studio musicians, the sound was unmistakable. To share all of Stokowski’s […]

  • “French Impressions” Impresses

    Jan 18th, 2012 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Camille Saint-Saens, CD Review, Cesar Franck, Chamber music, Jeremy Denk, Joshua Bell, Maurice Ravel, Sony Classics

    Good chamber music is a conversation – and French Impressions is just that. A conversation between two old friends enjoying themselves. It’s no accident that both violinist Joshua Bell and pianist Jeremy Denk get equal billing. In the three works presented both artists contribute equally to the performance. The album beings with Camille Saint-Saens’ Sonata […]
