This concert is a Time Out New York Critic's Pick!
St. Paul's Chapel, 209 Broadway, New York, NY. Lecture-Recital, sponsored by Trinity Church Congregational Arts Allegro.
Highlights include Franchomme's Air Irlandais, Varié (with the same tune later sung by Shirley Temple in The Colonel), and his version of Chopin's famous Introduction and Polonaise Brillante (his embellishments to the cello part were approved by Chopin). Also, cellist Katherine Cherbas will join Louise to play cello duo music by Franchomme. Louise will illuminate the music with stories she's unearthed during her research in France. (including some of the research featured in her liner notes for The Franchomme Project album out 9/11 on Delos/Naxos, and her introduction to the Dover publication of Franchomme's out-of-print compositions, appearing in November).
Auguste Franchomme was the most renowned Parisian cellist of his time, a dear friend and frequent performance partner of Chopin, and the dedicatee of Chopin's final work, the Cello Sonata. Their circle of friends included Liszt, Mendelssohn, George Sand, Jane Stirling, the Rothschilds, and many other luminaries of 19th century Paris. Franchomme composed charming, virtuosic cello compositions, most of which are out of print and have never been recorded.

Franchomme was the most renowned Parisian cellist of his day, best friend to Chopin and the dedicatee of Chopin’s final work, his cello sonata Op. 65. This program includes three Franchomme works that have never been performed in the USA, making it of particular interest to lovers of the cello repertoire and Chopin aficionados, as well as important to scholars of French romantic music.
Most of Franchomme's works are out of print, but I am performing many lovely unknown Franchomme pieces in concerts this autumn in New York and throughout the US (both out-of-print editions and manuscripts). Last summer I visited France on a research grant, where I met some of Franchomme's descendants and discovered fantastic out-of-print works in the Biblothèque Nationale de France, Paris.
Program:
Franchomme Caprice No. 9 for Solo Cello, 1835
Chopin-Franchomme Preludes, Op. 28, Nos. 7 and 20, arranged for Cello and Piano
Franchomme Air Irlandais Varié For Cello and Piano, 1831
Chopin-Franchomme Nocturne, Op. 55, No. 1 arranged for Cello and Piano, 1846
Franchomme Fantasy on The Enchanted Flute by Mozart, Op. 40, for Cello and Piano, 1870
Additional pieces on September 29th only:
Franchomme arrangements for cello quartet (from Franchomme's manuscripts, estimated date “third quarter of 19th Century” by Bibliothèque Nationale Française, transcribed by Louise Dubin)
Chopin Op. 38 Ballade
Chopin Op. 35 Marche Funèbre
Mendelssohn Song without Words for Cello and Piano
Chopin-Franchomme Mazurka Op. 33, No. 3
Beethoven, 7 Variations on "Bei Männern, welche Liebe fuhlen" from Mozart's The Enchanted Flute
Cellists: Louise Dubin, Kathy Cherbas, Sæunn Thorsteinsdóttir, Sarah Hewitt-Roth
Pianists: Hiroko Sasaki (9/22), Reiko Uchida (9/25), Hiroko Sasaki (9/29)
Each recital will include historical commentary between pieces: What events were occurring in the lives of Franchomme, Chopin, and their Parisian patrons when these works were published (referring to letters and other primary sources, with a focus on the poignant/amusing/tumultuous)?
