This release takes us to the fashionable salons of late 19th-century Paris. Superstar cellist Yo-Yo Ma and pianist Kathryn Stott partner in this album of elegant French chamber music aptly titled "Paris: La Belle Époque". The recording features a combination of major works and well-known shorter pieces, all transcribed from their original versions for violin. The Faure Violin Sonata #1 and Franck Violin Sonata in A Major both take on a rich, warm character in cello transcription, and Massenet's ever-popular "Meditation from Thais" and Saint-Saens' exotic Havanaise work equally well as arranged by Ma. The cello and piano playing are both top-notch in this recording - refined and elegant overall, yet dramatic and exciting when called for (particularly in the Franck). It's not surprising that Stott and Ma's previous collaboration, "Soul of the Tango", won a Grammy.
