Francesca LeBrun (1756 - 1791)
Six Sonatas for Fortepiano and Violin, Op. 1
WORLD PREMIERE RECORDING OF COMPLETE Op.1

Monica Jakuc, Fortepiano - Dana Maiben Violin



Francesca LeBrun was a leading voice in the eighteenth century opera world, a celebrated soprano who sang on major operatic and concert stages in London, Paris, Prague, Vienna, Milan, Naples, Berlin and throughout Europe.   A respected composer of sonatas, she must have been a considerable pianist as well, to judge from her writing for the instrument.
