Maria Bachmann and Adam Neiman, French Fantasy (Bridge). Sensitive yet bracingly incisive performances of sonatas by Franck, Saint-Saëns (the D Minor, familiar to Proustians as the model for the "sonate de Vinteuil"), and Debussy, with a lovely performance of Jascha Heifetz's violin-and-piano arrangement of Debussy's "Beau Soir" thrown in for good measure. Bachmann , who doubles as the violinist of Trio Solisti , is one of the outstanding soloists of her generation, and Neiman is no mere "accompanist" but a sonata partner of impeccable authority. This one's a winner (TT).
