"I love you and that's all what I can tell because I'm falling from sleep and weakness" - these are the words of Chopin from the last letter he wrote in his life. It was a letter to his good friend, the cellist Auguste Franchomme, to whom Chopin also dedicated his cello sonata.
Cellist Camille Thomas used the relationship between these two musicians as the basis for this special project. The instrument she plays is the cello that once belonged to Franchomme, the Stradivarius Feuermann.
The repertoire she plays was composed by Chopin and arranged for cello by Franchomme with Chopin's permission. What's special is that these arrangements are played on the instrument for which they were originally intended.
