Saint-Saëns: Cello Concerto No. 1 - Franck, Fauré & Poulenc

Bruno Philippe (cello), Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra, Christoph Eschenbach, Tanguy de Williencourt (piano)

From the overt Romanticism of Saint-Saëns to the nostalgia-laden modernity of Poulenc, Bruno Philippe takes us on a journey through (almost) a century of French cello music.

Alongside Tanguy de Williencourt, he also performs the cello version of Franck’s famous Violin Sonata, one of the absolute peaks of nineteenth century chamber music.

Christmas 2023

Philippe possesses a lovely tone in lyrical items such as Fauré’s Romance and Après un rêve, and technically is well up to all the challenges. His best interpretation is of the Poulenc Cello Sonata, in which he and pianist Tanguy de Williencourt manage the surrealist elements, moving from lyrical suavity to demotic perkiness and back.

You know when every aspect of an album just sings? Well, this is one of those, and not only because cellist Bruno Philippe’s lyricism is as much to the fore as ever.
