Notes

Original compositions by Cesar Frank, Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel Domenico Nordio, violin / Massimo Somenzi, Grandpiano 20 Bit Digital Recording. Live in studio at Teatro Torresino (Padua, Italy). March, 1998

Three sonatas for violin and piano by three great composers. Frank expresses himself with rather solid formal structures, with contents that are now passionate and grandiose, now ecstatic and lyrical. Debussy's sonata, the third of an unfinished cycle of six sonatas, from 1916-17, is realistic, sober and far from romantic eloquence. Ravel's sonata, from 1927, expresses the Author's taste for going beyond his natural inclinations.
