About

After years of fruitful cooperation with Evgeni Kissin, Nikolaï Luganski and Boris Berezovski, Alexander Kniazev has found in Plamena Mangova a worthy partner for this tribute to the Franco-Belgian school, and in particular to the outstanding violinist Eugène Ysaÿe.

Ysaÿe, to whom the César Franck Sonata was dedicated, enjoyed playing the cello – and did so very competently – when he played music at home with friends. The warm and powerful sound of Ysaÿe gave the Franck Sonata the feel of a cathedral and very soon the Sonata was published in a version for cello, authorized by the composer and carried out by Jules Delsart.

In his turn, Kniazev proposes his vision of a few other pages by Franck and Ysaÿe, amongst which the magnificent Poème élégiaque, source of Chausson’s Poème, is a première on disc in a beautifully suited new form.
