Cello Sonatas

Album by César Franck & Rita Strohl & Francis Poulenc & Fernand de La Tombelle & Edgar Moreau & David Kadouch

César Franck's Cello Sonata in A major is a sonata for cello and piano, composed in 1886 and first performed in 1887. The work exemplifies Franck's late-Romantic harmonic language and cyclical structural approach, combining expansive melodies, rich chromaticism and close dialogue between cello and piano, and it is representative of his mature output and a staple of the concert repertoire for the instrument.
