This present recording contains all of Faure's music for cello and piano, including the much-loved Elegie and Sicilienne – pieces that are sometimes described as 'salon music', with qualities that caused Debussy to dub the composer 'the master of charms'. But interspersed with this lighter fare are also the two sonatas from Faure's later period when, suffering from increasing deafness, he developed a more pared-down style. Even though the sonatas came into being only a few years apart they are nevertheless quite different – appearing in 1917, Sonata No. 1 in D minor is very much a wartime work, at times almost violent. The G minor Sonata is altogether more accessible, with a vivacious finale that caused the composer Vincent d'Indy to remark to the 78-year old Faure: 'How lucky you are to stay young like that!' Andreas Brantelid's previous release for BIS – a disc with music by Grieg and Percy Grainger – received critical acclaim including a Gramophone Editor's Choice. For this all-Faure programme he has chosen to collaborate with pianist and highly respected chamber musician Bengt Forsberg. 1 Romance, Op.69 3'37 2 Papillon, Op.77 2'44 3 Serenade, Op.98 2'57 4 Berceuse, Op.16 3'30 Sonata No.1 in D minor for cello and piano, Op.109 20'46 5 I.
