Sans jamais négliger le sens du discours, Emmanuelle Bertrand & Pascal Amoyel livrent des sonates sensuelles & vibrantes. (...) Dès les premières mesures de la sonate n°1, la communion des idées et l'unité du geste s'imposent. (...) Il faut dire que la sensualité du jeu subjugue, tant les couleurs irriguent les phrases, tant les textures sculptent les lignes, tant certaines ombres fugaces viennent troubler l'émotion. (...) D'une tendresse irrépressible à fleur de peau, Emmanuelle Bertrand & Pascal Amoyel y chantent et virevoltent sur le ton de la confidence (...)

Sonatas & Liebeslieder for cello and piano

Pascal Amoyel piano
Emmanuelle Bertrand and Pascal Amoyel celebrate their twenty years together as a cello and piano duet. It is hardly surprising that they chose to mark this anniversary with the music of Brahms, a composer who has been a constant on their beautiful journey together: beyond his two ultra-romantic sonatas, they take the listeners to an even deeper emotional realm, that of his lieder, splendidly ‘sung’ here by the cello!
