Amazon.co.uk Review
The delightful twist here comes with the gypsy shenanigans that is ITzigane/I, where the excellent Pascal Rogè plays on a piano hooked up to an attachment known as a "luthèal." This device was, apparently, employed for the piece's 1929 first performance and transforms the sound into somewhere between an impeccably tuned pub upright and a Hungarian cimbalom (used so profitably by Kodàly in his IHàry Jànos/I). Chantal Juillet is perhaps not as sultry or charismatic as some rivals, but Rogè is his usual impeccable self, and this remains an intriguing document. Elsewhere, Juillet and Rogè fashion a stimulating alliance in the two sonatas for violin and piano (the earlier of which is a student work from 1897--and thoroughly lovely it is too!), though Cho-Liang Lin and Paul Crossley on a rival Sony anthology are in some ways even more commandingly perceptive. On the other hand, Juillet is at her very best in the under-appreciated Sonata for violin and piano, where she is partnered by that consummate Norwegian cellist, Truls Mork. Beautiful sound and generous measure to boot. Rest assured, this is a very good disc indeed. I--Andrew Achenbach/I
