The two cello sonatas are among the masterpieces of the cello repertoire, looking back to the nineteenth century but also with an edginess that may well reflect the time in which they were written\\u2014during and immediately after the First World War. Remarkably, Faure was in his seventies by the time he wrote them. There\\u2019s some debate as to how fast the last movement of the first sonata should go\\u2014so Alban Gerhardt has recorded two alternative versions, to be programmed to the listener\\u2019s taste.\\r\u003cbr\u003eAlongside the sonatas are some of Faure\\u2019s most seductive bon-bons, including the famous Sicilienne and elegie, and the so-called Papillon (so-named at his publisher\\u2019s insistence and much to Faure\\u2019s annoyance\\u2014he hated fluffy titles).\\r\u003cbr\u003eAlban Gerhardt is of course a Hyperion regular and this is his ninth album for the label.\u003cp\u003eCello Sonata No 1 in D minor Op 109\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCello Sonata No 2 in G minor Op 117\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\xc3\\u0192\\xe2\\u20ac\\xb0l\\xc3\\u0192\\xc2\\xa9gie Op 24\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRomance Op 69\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePapillon Op 77\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eS\\xc3\\u0192\\xc2\\xa9r\\xc3\\u0192\\xc2\\xa9nade Op 98\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSicilienne Op 78\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllegro commodo\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55149725417857,"sku":"751508","price":13.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/61V_8QaLS9L._SL1500.jpg?v=1767847800","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/751508","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
