About
An accomplished cellist and regular at our concerts performs with a pianist described by Le Figaro as the “new Gilels”, whose technique exhibits a “clever mixture of untamed instinct and poetic sophistication”. Victor Julien-Laferrière and Jonathan Fournel share the distinction of winning the prestigious Queen Elisabeth Music Competition in Belgium (in 2017 and 2021 respectively). Here, they are making their way through romantic Germany and the less travelled paths of Central Europe. Mendelssohn meets Brahms, and Opus 4 (1910) by Kodály seeks out a form of modernity featuring borrowings from the tradition of the Hungarian countryside and harmonies inspired by Debussy. It is guaranteed to transport us to pastures new
