Fauré’s Romance is a gem among many written for Cello and Piano by the master composer. Originally composed for cello and organ, the work exemplifies Faure’s natural affinity for the cello, displaying the melodic capabilities of the instrument at its best. The work is filled with beauty and nostalgia but never in an overly sentimental way: the journey rarely cadences but rather seems to twist and turn onto new paths. Alexander Hersh
