Manon Galy, Jorge Gonzalez Buajasan
AP397 - 1CD - 1'20'27 - Apr 3, 2026
After Nuits parisiennes, Manon Galy and Jorge Gonzalez Buajasan explore the inner worlds of Romanticism through major sonatas by Mendelssohn, Brahms, and Grieg, enhanced by intimate pieces by Sibelius and Fibich, where violin and piano convey both exaltation and nostalgia.
After their first recording ‘Nuits parisiennes’, Manon Galy and Jorge Gonzalez Buajasan open the door to the inner worlds of Romanticism. Surrounding Mendelssohn’s rare Sonata in F major MWV Q 26 (his only mature violin sonata), Brahms’s Second, and Grieg’s Third are a few poetic and intimate gems, such as Sibelius’s ‘Berceuse’ and Fibich’s ‘Poème’. Between “melancholy waltz and languorous vertigo”, violin and piano become the exalted yet nostalgic voice of the composers’ most personal confidences.
