Vlado Perlemuter and Jean Hubeau’s pupil, Michel Dalberto has established himself during a forty year career as a master. As an ardent defender of French music, he launched a series dedicated to Debussy, Fauré, Franck and Ravel on the Aparté record label. “I wish to prove myself worthy of the teachers who used to provide a specific idea of French music made of severity and sensuality, a mixture of rigour and freedom.” - Michel Dalberto

After a first opus devoted to Debussy and a second to Fauré (both of which were rewarded with international awards), Michel Dalberto chose the Salle Philharmonique in Liège to record the third part of this collection in César Franck’s home town.
