On September 5, 2025, Bridge Records will release our second album, Passages, featuring more premiere recordings of French compositions from Franchomme’s era up to the present day. You’ll find cello duos by Franchomme, Fauré and living composer Philippe Hersant, that I recorded with Julia Bruskin (who also played on The Franchomme Album with me). Passages also includes a gorgeous but unknown sonata for cello and piano by Charles Koechlin, the well-loved sonata by Debussy, and shorter pieces by Chopin, Franchomme and Poulenc which I present with pianist Spencer Myer. Watch some of our session takes here! Our producer is again the multiple grammy-award winning Steve Epstein, who shares engineering credits this time with Judith Sherman, another multiple grammy-award winner.  

The Franchomme and Chopin works included are recorded here for the first time ever, and the music is found in my Dover publication Selected Works for Cello and Piano by Auguste Franchomme (which also contains original French editions for music on The Franchomme Project).

You can now buy CDs and digital copies of Passages from this website’s shop, in advance of the Bridge Records release on 9/5! Physical copies of Passages will also be available at our release concerts — New York City on 10/25, 7 pm featuring Louise Dubin, Julia Bruskin, and Philippe Muller, and Tuckahoe, NY on 10/26 at 3pm. More info soon about these concerts. We’d love to see you at one! 

The Franchomme Project album was released on the Delos label in the US and Canada on September 11th, 2015, and became available to the rest of the world through Naxos in November. It received critical acclaim in the US, England, France and Canada, won multiple radio station awards, and continues to enjoy worldwide airplay. It includes 10 world premiere recordings and extensive liner notes written by Louise Dubin, with previously unpublished information and photos collected during her research trips in France. A French translation of her notes by a direct descendant of Franchomme is also included. CD orders placed through this website's shop include a bonus 24-bit hi-resolution cello duo track!
