Exciting 2 4

I will not share the reservations of the previous commentator. Instead, here is a record that raises immediate enthusiasm, total and without reservation. Saint-Saens's never much at the top in chamber music. Then he gives all his inventiveness, his mastery, his taste for stamps and virtuosity background on associations serving a formally beautiful music.

When all this is interpreted by a regular duo playing together for years as here, by two great musicians, is confined to happiness. Hear the violin Clamagirand Fanny is a great time as it combines qualities rarely associated: colors, clarity of stamps, power, sense of nuance and extraordinary musicality. We already loved his version of the concertos of the same Saint-Saens (see Saint-Saens: Violin Concertos). As for the piano Vanya Cohen, he captivates us immediately. The accuracy and virtuosity! We want more especially as the sound is excellent, which is rare enough to be stressed Naxos. A really beautiful record!
