About
‘Gabriel Fauré is a composer who seemingly divides opinion. For me, his writing is fascinating and timeless and I unashamedly adore it. His two cello sonatas in particular display Fauré’s unique and intriguing voice, and their divine unending melodies celebrate the cello’s best registers.
‘The making of this disc was primarily inspired by those works, as well as some of Fauré’s own influences and inspirations, which came in no small part from his mentor and teacher Camille Saint-Saëns. The evident connections in style, structure, phrasing and melody make for a fascinating comparison.’
Irish cellist Brian O’Kane enjoys a busy career as both soloist and chamber musician. Since winning first prize at the Windsor International String Competition in 2008, he has made his debuts with the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra, the Philharmonia Orchestra under Ashkenazy and in recital at the Wigmore Hall. Brian is a former ‘Rising Star’ of Ireland’s National Concert Hall and has performed at Seoul’s Performing Arts Centre and with a cello ensemble at the BBC Proms.
Winner of the Terence Judd / Hallé Award in 2009, Belfast-born Michael McHale has established himself as one of Ireland’s leading pianists. He has performed as a soloist with the Minnesota, Hallé, Moscow Symphony and Bournemouth Symphony Orchestras, the London Mozart Players, City of London Sinfonia and all five of the major Irish orchestras, and performed at the Tanglewood Festival, Wigmore Hall, London, Berlin Konzerthaus, Suntory Hall, Tokyo, Lincoln Center, New York, Symphony Hall, Boston and Pesti Vigadó in Budapest.
