GEORGES TACONET (1889-1962):
A fellow Norman (like Caplet, Satie, Honegger, Dupré and
Duruflé), Taconet wrote sixty songs and a few chamber works and,
while devotees of the French mélodie will lament the violin
sonata, collectors of French chamber music will likewise lament the
songs! Several of the latter are exquisite, inhabiting much the same
rarified atmosphere of Duparc while others have a Fauréan
melancholy.
The sonata, written before 1927, is a lovely, dreamy piece in the same
vein as Ropartz and Ravel.
