Violin Sonata No. 1 in A major, Op 13

“A magic floats above everything” is how Saint-Saëns described this piece, which is often regarded as the best of Faure's chamber works. It skilfully combines ancient elements from Renaissance and medieval music with more modern elements borrowed from other musical sources.
