Alberic Magnard: Cello... - elena Ballario Camilla Patria - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

Albéric Magnard (1865-1914) was born in Paris, the son of Francis Magnard, a bestselling author and editor of Le Figaro. Magnard's primary musical influences were contemporary French composers, particularly César Franck, whereas certain passages in his music demonstrate a more Germanic influence, foreshadowing the music of Gustav Mahler. His use of fugue and incorporation of chorale, together with the grandeur of expression, have caused him to be called a "French Bruckner". The two works on this CD, the Cello Sonata and Piano Trio, are highlights in Magnard’s oeuvre, highly expressive, original and passionate works by a still neglected composer.
