Our sixth album, D’Azur et d’Orage (Of Azure and Storm), marks a new artistic and creative stage. The result of two years of work, this album explores the contrasts of existence and seeks to translate them into music. Between calm and storm, it evokes metamorphoses, inner and outer journeys, and how each of us navigates them. D’Azur et d’Orage is an invitation to feel, to allow ourselves to be moved by opposing forces, and to find renewed energy in their encounter. This album explores a sonic universe where strings and percussion become the foundation and driving force of the voices, creating a musical texture that is both organic and vibrant. The songs rise in an invented language, a poetic tongue that transcends borders. This imaginary language is sometimes inspired by the sounds and rhythms of languages ​​from the greater Mediterranean to the Black Sea, evoking multiple roots and shared memories.

Albéric Magnard and Louis Vierne: Two French Masters of the Cello Sonata. The early years of the twentieth century were a time of transition in French music. While impressionism was gaining ground through Debussy and Ravel, some composers remained faithful to the ideals of structural clarity and expressive depth inherited from the Romantic tradition. Among these figures were Albéric Magnard and Louis Vierne, two artists whose sonatas for cello and piano, both composed in 1910, stand as monuments of French chamber music and offer contrasting yet complementary visions of their era.

Leon Böellmann (1862-1897) was born in the Alsatian town of Ensisheim. He moved to Paris after the Franco-Prussian War after which Alsace became part of Germany.

His compositions brought him considerable recognition, and he would almost certainly have made a bigger name for himself if he had not died at the young age of 35. Presented on this album is his remarkable Cello Sonata Op.40, hailing from the late French Romantic period.

This third instalment in Brilliant Classics’ French Cello Sonatas series features the phenomenal composer Louise Farrenc (1804–1875), who is enjoying a much deserved revival amid contemporary focus on women composers, and the enigmatic and formidable Charles-Valentin Alkan (1813–1888), renowned for his complex compositional language and extreme piano virtuosity.
