AMINA LUCCHESI (Violin) ;
MARGERY CUNNINGHAM (Pianoforte).
UPON Gabriel Faure , who died in 1924, in his eightieth year, a great many official distinctions were conferred, including the rare one of a ' National Homage ' at the Sorbonne in 1922, when he was elected to the highest class in the Legion of Honour. Considering that he produced a great quantity (over 120 works) of charming music, eclectic and urbane, typical of the best qualities in French music of his day, it is somewhat surprising that comparatively little of it is commonly played in England.
The First Violin Sonata, written in 1876, is in the usual four Movements, the exceedingly lively Scherzo coming second, and the slow Movement third.
