Swiss-French cellist Christoph Croisé and Georgian pianist Ana Bakradze present a program of works united by the spirit of folk traditions and national character, as well as personal memories of the performers. Seven Popular Spanish Songs by Manuel de Falla is his most-arranged composition and among his most popular. Béla Bartók’s Six Romanian Folk Dances, originally composed for solo piano, were drawn from melodies the composer recorded of folk musicians singing in the countryside of his Hungarian homeland. Hungarian influences infuse Pablo de Sarasate’s Zigeunerweisen, originally scored for violin and orchestra. Sulkhan Tsintsadze’s Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes evoke childhood memories for pianist Bakradze, especially the fourth, a lullaby that her mother used to sing to her. The most substantial work on the album, Robert Schumann’s Five Pieces in Folk Style conjures the harmonies and rhythms of folk music. French national character imbues Nadia Boulanger’s Trois pièces and works by her teacher Gabriel Fauré: his elegant Sicilienne and his mélodie Après un rêve.
