A nice review published in UTMISOL for the album “Complete for violin and piano by César Franck »
Here are the main points :
…Darina Maleeva discovered Mélancolie by studying the archives of the composer of whom it is a late piece (1886) and made it known from 2001..
The two performers are well in tune, offering light and deep music, in a subtle harmony that an obvious artistic complicity allows us to master very well.
…the Andantino quietoso in B flat major and the Duo for piano and violin concertantes on motifs from Dalayrac's Gulistan are also very pleasant to listen to.
The two performers have a luminous vision in harmony with the spirit of the young César Franck.
A beautiful achievement which allows us to appreciate the real talent of two musicians..
