Chamber music concert: Bridge, Brahms and Debussy by Cédric Tiberghien & Bruno Philippe
Despite their very different identities, the piano and the cello can, when played together, create sound worlds of incredible richness. Among the countless sonatas for cello and piano that have left their mark on history, those of Brahms - of which Cédric Tiberghien and Bruno Philippe propose to hear the second from 1886 - are among the most absolute pillars of the repertoire. At the very end of his life, Debussy too was seduced by the magical alchemy of this duet and delivers a page where humour and melancholy are happily mixed (1915). Perhaps less well known to the French public, the British composer Frank Bridge, who wrote his work at the same time as Debussy (1917, while the First World War was raging), offers us a pure jewel of rare colours and harmonies. An often melancholy work of breathtaking beauty.
