Victor Julien-Laferrière & Théo Fouchenneret

Presented by Jean Marc Dumontet (PLATESV-R-2022-011004). Victor Julien-Laferrière and Théo Fouchenneret are already longtime chamber music partners: one can no longer count the number of concerts they have shared. They come to introduce the Gaveau audience to Nadia Boulanger's Trois Pièces. They are a musical treat—so comforting are these little-known pieces. Next comes a pinnacle of French music, Franck's sonata in its version for cello, so cherished by the composer; and a gift from Edvard Grieg to his cellist brother John. Friendship and sharing: this is perhaps the key to this evening and the whole challenge that musicians take on in chamber music. Program: Nadia Boulanger • Trois pièces pour violoncelle et piano NB 45; César Franck • Sonate pour violoncelle et piano; Edvard Grieg • Sonate pour violoncelle et piano en la mineur Op. 36. Performers: Théo Fouchenneret • piano; Victor Julien-Laferrière • cello
