About this Album:
Although sometimes disregarded as a conservative composer, looking back at a time when other composers were looking to the future, Saint-Saëns’s output towards the end of his life actually remained highly original. His music for violin and piano is no exception. An experienced traveller, Saint-Saëns was inspired by his voyages in East Asia, particularly China, and these exotic elements come to the fore in Triptyque Op.136, the ‘almost sonata’, which was the last of the composer’s major works for violin and piano. The three sections, Prémice, Vision congolaise and Joyeuseté, are a tribute to the composer’s fascination with the East, a popular topic in France at the time. The earlier works, the two violin sonatas and Berceuse, or ‘lullaby’, are also less indicative of Saint-Saëns’s conservatism than many would believe. Indeed, the listener is treated to a variety of innovations, such as frequent cross-accents in the second sonata and the rapid changes of metre that appear in various phrases in the first sonata. It is true, though, that Saint-Saëns refused to allow his output to be engulfed by the Wagnerian tradition gathering pace in Germany, and this means that his music remains characteristically and unabashedly French.
Mauro Tortorelli and Angela Meluso have been performing together for years and are experienced interpreters of Saint-Saëns and his contemporaries. Their critically acclaimed recording of Camillo Sivori’s works for violin and piano was praised in both Gramophone and Amadeus, with Angela Meluso singled out for her ‘lively and responsive’ playing. Both performers have their moments to shine in the recordings on this new release, and their lengthy musical partnership leads to a perfect balance between violin and piano.

In your debt once again BC. These were refreshing and exciting. Thank you for presenting so many of Saint-Saens' works. He should be regarded as a major composer and I cannot understand why he hasn't been, at least in my eighty plus year lifetime. His work defies the ages and established styles preceding it and to my mind is modern and well suited to the present troubled age. Thank you.

In many ways I like the performance of the d minor violin sonata much better than the Heifetz recordings that I grew up with. Mr. Tortorelli doesn't have the absolute steely technical perfection of Heifetz (FWIW, I wish that I had half as fine a technique in my playing as Mr. Tortorelli). That said, he and his sonata partner, Ms. Meluso, have so much subtlety, nuance, and playfulness in their readings of these pieces and, with their gracious sense of style, open new windows into the meanings of this music. Their reading of the Berceuse, Op 38 is so beautiful that it brings tears to my eyes. I'd love to know what his violin is. He draws a wonderful, rich, beautifully articulated sound from it with a wide dynamic range. The album is wonderfully recorded with nice balances that slightly favor the violin but still let the piano come through clearly with a beautiful, crystalline sound.

Thank you for posting these superb performances of these beautiful sonatas of Saint-Saens; the tempi chosen by these artists is [for me!] excellent- well reasoned and not too fast! And the playing is absolutely wonderful!

Wunderschöne und lyrische Interpretation dieser romantischen und perfekt komponierten Meisterwerke im gut phrasierten Tempo mit seidigem doch gut artikuliertem Ton der Violine und anmutigem doch klarem Klang des Klaviers. Der intime und perfekt entsprechende Dialog zwischen den beiden Virtuosen ist wahrlich bewundernswert. Alles ist wunderbar!

The 1st violin sonata by Saint Saens was probably an inspiration for Marcel Proust and his Vinteuil's violin sonata in "A la recherche du temps perdu". Great music anyway from every aspect!!!

Très bel enregistrement des 2 sonates pour violon et piano par nos amis italiens la deuxième nettement moins jouée et connue. La première ayant été jouée par Heifetz ,Accardo, et dernièrement par Renaud Capucon .

This video is truly beautiful and I absolutely love it! But, I was wondering why it had ads in them, I personally do not like ads when I'm listening to classical music because it's very disturbing, and in the description, I don't see anything copyrighted so maybe you could remove the ad somehow if that's not too much of a request. Thank you.
