FÉLICIEN DAVID (1810-1876): Piano Trio No. 1 in E Flat, String Quartet No. 3 in G Minor, Le souvenir and Le caprice for Cello and Piano, Pensée and L'absence for Piano, SEBASTIAN LEE (1805-1887): Souvenir d'Herculanum for Cello and Piano, PHILIPPE MUSARD (1792-1859): Valse de Lalla-Roukh for Piano, HENRI VIEUXTEMPS (1820-1881): La nuit for Cello and Piano

Description: More first recordings of David's chamber music, the trio and quartet more suitable for the concert hall than the salon but his other four pieces recorded here suit the latter admirably and this is also where the Lee, Musard and Vieuxtemps works - based respectively on motifs from David's operas Herculanum and Lalla-Roukh and his symphonic ode Le Désert - would have had their greatest effect.
