The French violinist Denise Soriano, like Jeanne Gautier are largely forgotten today.
She strikes us an artist we shall like to know better.
It was our desire that her art should be celebrated in so thoughtful a way as this, presented in a our CD release which aims to bring her name and artistry back into the present.
None of these French radio performances have been published before.
