Marking the 20th anniversary of the ground-breaking, Grammy Award-winning OXINGALE RECORDS, MON AMI, Mon amour offers music which, even in times of darkness, never loses sight of it's joie de vivre. The vibrant musical palette of cellist Matt Haimovitz and the graceful insight of pianist Mari Kodama exquisitely meld in MON AMI, Mon amour. Cello and piano remain in constant, colorful conversation for rarities by sisters Lili and Nadia Boulanger, in Debussy's neo-Baroque Sonata, and in the effervescent world of Poulenc's Cello Sonata. Ravel's poignant Kaddish and Milhaud's hopeful E'le'gie, composed at the end of World War II, round out the program. Two FaurÃ© gems are included, the virtuosic Papillon and the breathtaking AprÃ¨s un rÃªve, with it's longing for a mysterious night and an elusive, ecstatic love.
