Wen-Sinn Yang and Michael Hofstetter have prepared
a purely French programme for this new CD, beginning
with the famous Cello Concerto of Camille Saint-
Saëns, one of the most popular pieces in the entire
classical music business.
Symphonie espagnole is the best-known work by
Éduard Lalo – when listening to this recording it will
become clear that the Cello Concerto in D minor is no
less passionate than the Symphony.
