One is Swiss – cellist Lionel Cottet, currently first soloist of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra – the other is from Mexico: pianist Jorge Viladoms, although his musical education also brought him to Switzerland… Bridging the gap between their respective continents, both young musicians invite the listener to discover Latin American gems interacting freely with Parisian creations. Needless to say that these works (or composers) have not been subjected to or incorporated transatlantic influences, but merely represent a skilful juxtaposition of two major pieces on the one hand – Debussy’s Sonata “opposed” to Manuel Ponce’s, both contemporary masterpieces, respectively from 1915 and 1917 – and shorter works on the other, namely miniatures by Villa-Lobos, Ginastera and Piazzolla for Latin America, and Fauré, Massenet, Ravel and Saint-Saëns for Paris. While Debussy’s Sonata needs no introduction, it’s a different story for Ponce’s. Written in Havana, it was inspired by Cuban folklore for one of its movements, but resolutely turns to Spain for another, and… to Paris and Debussy in its last movement, with a slight humorous and baroque touch in the final fugue. An album with a highly unique blend indeed. © SM/Qobuz
