Music for Violin and Piano

"Two substantial rare French works for violin and piano played with utter conviction, typically presented in Hyperion's honest, well judged sound and superbly documented"

"Throughout the two musicians play with great felicity"

Joseph Canteloube is remembered these days almost exclusively for a bouquet of songs drawn from his five cycles of Chants d'Auvergne; Pierre de Bréville, much lauded during his lifetime, does not even have Canteloube's one-work-composer status to keep his name before the public. Both deserve better. On this disc are two enchanting discoveries for violin and piano, Bréville's Violin Sonata No 1 in C sharp minor and Canteloube's Suite: Dans la montagne.
