Philippe Tondre presents the most important musical project of his life. There was no doubt about the choice of programme. The music of Robert Schumann is, in a way, his Madeleine de Proust. The Romances opus 94 rocked him from an early age and accompanied him throughout his studies. All these late works for instrument and piano by Heinz Holliger and Alfred Brendel, Alexeï and Leonid Ogrintchouk, Albrecht Mayer and Markus Becker were included in his first recordings. This project was an opportunity to rekindle the flame of many emotions that have marked him over the last fifteen years. These memories have guided him throughout the recording: every element of his musical education has played a part in this recording journey.

One of the most exciting cellists of the younger generation and the “Piano Discovery of the Year” team up for this Genuin release: Benedict Kloeckner and Danae Dörken perform works by Robert Schumann, Dmitri Shostakovich, and Bohuslav Martinů. They have named their programme “Nostalgia and Revolution”, a title that applies to all three composers who, in a twofold manner, both mirrored and shaped their times. Splendid duo playing with long and sweeping lines together with a fair share of hooks and barbs – a fascinating chamber music production that gives us hope that we’ll be hearing more from this duo in the future!
