Romance sans paroles (Op. 11 No. 2) by Mélanie Hélène Bonis sings with warmth and lyricism, and this string-quartet arrangement preserves all of its intimate charm. The flowing Andantino theme, carried effortlessly between the instruments, creates a gentle, singing quality that feels almost vocal. Rich harmonies and expressive phrasing bring Bonis’s distinctive voice to life, offering performers a beautifully heartfelt miniature full of poetry and grace.
