About

• The two sonatas for cello and piano by Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924) were composed in the last decade of the composer's long and fruitful creative life. They are a significant example of how Fauré has evolved and developed his musical language during his lifetime. A reserved personality living in his own intimate creative world, deeply rooted in the romanticism that preceded him, he is considered the last of the romantics, in an age whose musical language had long been devoid of nineteenth-century canons.He is known for his vast quantity of light, expressive songs, characterised by natural, singable melodies of a charming and sweet sentiment. They became immensely popular and Tosti made a fortune with them.

• The music of this "maître de charme" (As Debussy called him) is essentially lyrical and his highly personal melodic and harmonic language has an exquisite quality.

• Luca Magariello is one of Italy’s foremost cellists. He and his partner Cecilia Novarino already made a highly successful recording for Brilliant Classics with cello sonatas by Miaskovsky.
