This CD combines deeply-felt, personal readings of the violin-piano sonatas of Gabriel Fauré (No. 1) and César Franck. Delmoni is partnered with pianist Meg Bachman Vas, who is also heard on the best-selling Songs My Mother Taught Me (CD JMR 1). Newly remastered by Robert C. Ludwig from the original analog master tape, using dB Technologies 22-bit analog-to-digital converter and Apogee Electronics UV 22 Super CD Encoding, this CD delivers compelling performances in emotionally-involving, fatigue-free sound.
