Christian Ferras Pierre Barbizet - Cesar Franck Sonata

I have to agree with you - doesn't seem to flow as well.

Thank you; I'm glad someone here also has sensitive hearing.

just a word.......art!!!!!!

Amazing!

muy bueno

llinda!

On oublie trop souvent que C. Franck comme E. Ysaïe (père du concours Reine Elisabeth) et d'autres sont des musiciens belges. Merci pour notre petit pays! Ici superbement jouée!

i prefer the cello variation

la tonalité, les rythmes, tous ces melodies sont absolument magnifiques!!! y'a pas un mieux ensemble du violon et piano que ferras et barbizet! c'est sublime.

I'm studying this sonata, it's one of the most difficult in all the chamber repertoire... especially for the pianist. But here Ferras shows all his talent... maybe he effectively stresses too much some notes, but in many points of the sonata the author openly requests it. And it's also the way of playing that was common at the time... Ojstrakh also has that deepness of sound, but a more energical phrasing. Ferras gives more the idea of the dramatism of the piece, in my opinion
