Astrig Siranossian and Nathanaël Gouin bring three rare works out of obscurity that time has (temporarily) made invisible. The first of these sonatas for cello and piano, recorded in the music library of La Grange-Fleuret, was composed by Jean Cras in 1901 as a young naval officer at the age of twenty-two. It shows his early mastery of form and texture. Pierre-Octave Ferroud's sonata from 1932, four years before this promising composer died in a car accident at the age of 36, evokes a very different mood. Marcelle Soulage is certainly the least known of the three. She was a pupil of Nadia Boulanger, a teacher, radio producer and journalist and was one of the founding members of the Groupe Instrumental Féminin in the 1950s. Her Sonata in F sharp minor, which she composed in 1919 at the age of twenty-five, testifies to an already very obvious gift for invention.
