Fervent and passionate, [the Strohl] proves tremendously listenable; and here Moreau and Kadouch give it all they’ve got…[In the Franck] they seem at times too get up…The Poulenc, however, flowers surprisingly in this near-excess of care with a rewarding, kaleidoscopic range of colour.

The great thing we’re learning about Moreau in the recording studio is that, while under-recorded repertoire has been something of a calling card thus far, ultimately this is just the icing on an overall story of a cellist whose recordings are worth hearing whatever he’s playing...his Poulenc and Franck sonatas stand out for their subtlety and poise...this is a standout album.
