La magie du violoncelle

Bach, Handel, Faure, Saint-Saens, Chopin... A journey among the greatest composers to discover the magic of the cello. Of all the instruments, the cello is the one whose sound is most reminiscent of the human voice. In the hands of talented artists, it can sing, speak, shout as well as whisper. His voice resonates deep within us. It is therefore not surprising that many composers have given it an important place in their creations. This album takes us into the magic of the cello, offering us a journey including famous works from the repertoire ranging from the 18th to the 20th century. There we find the great masters of baroque music (Bach, Handel, Corelli), romantic music (Chopin, Mendelssohn, Franck) as well as those of modern music (Faure, Saint-Saens, Rimsky-Korsakov...). Played by renowned musicians, the cello sometimes sings solo, as in Bach's famous suites. But the cello also reveals itself fully when it dialogues with other instruments, whether in specific compositions or in transcriptions. In this album you can hear him in a duo with different instruments such as the piano, the harp, the organ, the oboe, the kora, or even with a chamber orchestra. Let yourself be guided by the deep sound of the cello which will allow you to better appreciate the diversity of works from three centuries of music history.
