John Eliot Gardiner - Cantatas 15 [COMPACT DISCS] date 10/10/2006

Following his first album of French lute music, Alban Tixier invites us to join him as he explores the byways of European music dating from the 13th to the 15th century.

This pays homage to the Franco-Belgian school of violin. In the tradition of the famous sonata by Franck, Vincent d'Indy's sonata is associated on this album with the sonata of his disciple, the Belgian Albert Dupuis a revelation, and a world premiere recording. The album also includes an Andante by the young d'Indy and a superb piece by Ermend-Bonnal.
