Carlotta Malquori & Andrea D'Amato - En variant: Works for Violin & Piano by Lekeu, Messiaen, Bacri & Guglielmi (2024) [24/96]

The Belgian composer Guillaume Lekeu (1870–1894) left us only a small oeuvre. One of his most important compositions is the Sonata pour piano et violon, which is dedicated to Eugène Ysaÿe. The great Belgian violinist described it as "a masterpiece whose wealth of ideas and melodic inspiration need not shy away from comparison with Franck's Violin Sonata."

Olivier Messiaen (1908–1992) was one of the most original and versatile composers of the 20th century. His Thème et variations, composed in Paris in 1932 as a wedding gift for his first wife, the violinist and composer Claire Delbos, and performed together a few months after their marriage, explores the ideas of time and rhythm in search of their possible variations.

The sonata is a form that has recently sparked the interest of Nicolas Bacri (*1961), one of the most performed and recorded composers in today's international music scene. The Sonata No. 4 op. 148 "In Leaning on Brahms", which was written between June and October 2018 at the request of Agnès Pyka and Laurent Wagschal, corresponds to this second tendency and is a great homage by Bacri to the Hamburg master, to whom he is one has special affection.

The violinist Carlotta Malquori and the pianist Andrea D'Amato are a permanent duo and enthusiastically play numerous concerts at home and abroad.
