A French Connection

Daniel Rowland and Natacha Kudritskaya present two gorgeously romantic pieces in their second recording for Champs Hill Records: the Franck violin sonata, a perennial favourite; and the all too rarely heard Chausson concerto for violin, piano and string quartet. The album also features the world premiere recordings of beautiful arrangements of three Debussy preludes by Craig White. Daniel and Natacha’s previous recording of the Enescu Sonatas for Champs Hill Records (CHRCD120) was released in 2016 to critical acclaim: "Daniel Rowland and Natacha Kudritskaya prove to be the perfect partnership and give an exquisite performance of music by Enescu ... Highly recommended." – BBC Music Magazine "Rowland has a powerful, glamorous tone, gleaming down at the top and throaty and rugged down at the bottom, and Natacha Kudritskaya matches him every bar of the way for passion, fantasy and precision." – Gramophone
