Greetings,
I am the violinist on both CDs with chamber music by Franco Alfano. I read your post that you find the newest CD remarkable, and am writing to thank you very much for your kind words and much esteemed appreciation!!! It has been a great honor and a pleasure to record Alfano's works, and to perform them (we gave the American premieres of all these works, and recorded them as world premiere recordings; the Violin Sonata recording is of the original 1923 version, and it also is a world premiere recording; two previous recordings exist, both not of the original version - they feature a later, shorter one). Anyway, I am very happy that you have been favorably impressed by the recordings, and appreciate your opinion very much!
Sincerely,
Elmira Darvarova
