Played with poetic lyricism, brilliant virtuosity, and consummate musicality by the young French cellist Emmanuelle Bertrand and accompanied exquisitely by pianist Pascal Amoyel, each of the Saint-Saëns works here sounds uniquely fascinating, wholly idiomatic, and completely persuasive. Recorded in clear, deep, and warm sound in Teldec Studio Berlin in September 2006 under the artistic direction of Martin Sauer, this disc will please any listeners who enjoy Saint-Saëns' music, Romantic music, or the cello.
