Deborah Nemtanu violin & viola
Sarah Nemtanu violin

Paris Chamber Orchestra
Sascha Goetzel direction

Talented and even ... brilliant, cheerful like finches, accomplished musicians and young women, occupying positions at the highest level, one solo violin with the National Orchestra of France, her junior of the Paris Chamber Orchestra , chamber musicians, soloists, festival directors, loved by musicians and the public alike, they represent the best of the French violin.

Reunited for the first time on record, Sarah and Deborah Nemtanu, personalities as assiduous as endearing, offer us their talent and their complicity in a cheerful and daring program: Bach and Schnittke. Each plays solo, then together, accompanied by the Paris Chamber Orchestra. And as a bonus, Déborah so reveals as beautiful viola player as she is not already a violinist.
