Faure - acquired taste

I went to a violin and piano recital of Faure on Sunday morning. But was not all that impressed. It was given by Jane Gordan violin and Ian Rautio. So I bought a recording by the Nash Ensemble, to compare. Gordan and Rautio were superior, more expressive and melodic. It was actually Faure music that did not impress. The violin sonatas are not for me.
