Funny idea that this choice of cover for a classical disc. However, the bicycle "tandem" laid at the feet of Anne Gastinel and Claire Desert auditor information on what to expect after reading the thrown disc. So closely associated, the two musicians together to move forward in a single direction, namely that of serving the best interests of their program. Clocked at the rate of three partitions of our greatest composers, their journey has a varied profile. The first step, the Sonata in A major by Franck, is what might be called "a great classic." Originally written for violin and piano, this essential masterpiece in cello personality of an instrument that does not detract from his romantic aspirations. A little less bright than the original version, this transcription Jules Delsart (a cellist, composer friend) is a contagious lyricism and overflowing; listen to the morning is to have it in your head all day. The second stage allows us to visit different landscapes. Traditional because of its shape, Debussy's Sonata in D minor is known for his theatrical and fanciful mind. Naturally elegant, listening is always so musically rewarding. The route ends with a work to tone hardly more serious than the last. The carelessness of the first movement to the lighthearted and easygoing pace of Finale, satisfaction motives abound. Reinforcing their program of choice, Anne Gastinel and Claire Desert engage in a great interpretation. Listening to each other, their dialogue is sincere and harmonious. Very pleasant despite academicism sometimes a little too grown, it gives them the image of two large, efficient and intelligent artists. Even if these parts have already experienced better interpretations (I especially think the duo Queyras / Tharaud), this disc is to be welcomed for the way he serves French chamber repertoire, but also for its sound recording that immerses us by its nature and its balance, in the heart of the music.
