Notes and Editorial Reviews
Performance: ***** / Sound: ****
Rich pickings! Alkan and R Strauss Sonatas are given suitably grandiose performances. Bertrand and Amoyel complement each other superbly.
– BBC Music Magazine
“Underrated, like most of Bloch's music, they are played here with aristocratic dignity by Emmanuelle Bertrand.” – The Guardian
“The enthusiastic playing of Bertrand and Amoyel captures Saint-Saëns’ characteristic youthful vigour and gleeful virtuosity.” – Classic FM Magazine
