Godard : Violin sonatas

Performers

Composer

Listen

In the press

Enregistrées pour la première fois, ces sonates pour violon et piano de Godard dévoilent un tempérament passionné épris de clarté.
Classica

Nicolas Dautricourt et Dana Ciocarlie maîtrisent idéalement leurs partitions et rendent un bel hommage à Benjamin Godard.
Resmusica

The performances are consistently strong. Nicolas Dautricourt permits himself to be flamboyant in the Fourth but is nicely restrained elsewhere, his phrasing immaculately shaded: a touch of metal in his tone prevents the music from turning towards sentimentality…Dana Ciocarlie is superb throughout, poised yet intense. Gramophone
