Franck beyond his vn sonata

[EdgeleyRob]

Evgeny Kissin does a mean Prélude, Choral et Fugue.
(I got the man himself to sign my copy of the CD too )

You could also try the Symphonic variations for piano and orchestra but they do appear to bring some members of this forum out in a rash

Admittedly, there is not much of Franck's music I do like, apart from his chamber and organ music, that's about it!

Organ music is not my favourite listening, but I have a fine disc of piano solo music from Sergio Fiorentino, which I have played a lot. It includes a transcription of one of his organ pieces.

Franck beyond the sonata. A few suggestions:

Piano Quintet (my favourite recording isCurzon/Vienna Octet on Decca)
Symphonic variations
Rédemption (complete; the Plasson recording on EMI)
Symphony - among others, I very much like Boult's recording (reissued in the EMI Great Conductors Boult set).
Organ music, the Olivier Latry disc mentioned already by HighlandDougie is excellent.

I note that Redemption was the opening item on TtN last night, though without the narration found in the Plasson recording:

Franck's organ music, and the organs he composed for, are explored in depth on this luxurious set of 2 DVDs and 2 CDs:

The String Quartet really got under my skin by its use in a BBC dramatisation about Proust, played by Alan Bates, who hires a string quartet to play at his home and takes a fancy to its war-wounded violist. Having tried several, my preferred recording is by the Fitzwilliam Quartet on Decca Eloquence from 1978.
