Saint-Saens: Cello Sonatas

Prior to the turn of the 20th century, Camille Saint-Saens enriched the cello repertoire with two important compositions: his Cello Concerto No.1 in A minor (Op.33 ) and his Cello Sonata No.1 in C minor (Op.32). The first Cello Sonata was composed in the autumn of 1872, and its first public performance was given on 26 March 1873 at the Salle Érard in Paris. (Brilliant)
