Kathryn Stott & Yo-Yo Ma - Merci

Merci is a deeply personal expression of gratitude, a celebration of the powerful relationships that keep music alive. Rooted in the compositions of Gabriel Fauré, whom Kathryn Stott calls her “musical soulmate,” this dazzling recording follows the arcs of his inspiration and influence, from the creations of his teacher Camille Saint-Saëns and his friend and supporter Pauline Viardot to works by his student Nadia Boulanger and her sister, Lili. Merci testifies to the gift of friendship, to the connections between performers, between students and teachers and between generations that make music magical.
