Edouard Ferlet is a jazz pianist featuring a refined swing. His album Think Bach, a first incursion into the world of the Cantor, was a total success: from Télérama (ffff) to Jazz Magazine, everyone was charmed by his approach and the quality of his piano (‘incredibly well turned out and beautiful,’ wrote Stéphane Friédérich in Pianiste)… Unclassifiable and unpredictable, as he defines himself, the pianist-composer is in the habit of combining jazz with the most varied forms: classical music, theatre, filmscores, performances and musical readings with authors such as Nancy Huston… In the continuity of the Think Bach project, Arièle Butaux provoked an unexpected duo on French radio, centred on Baroque music and improvisation, a magical, timeless face-to-face between Edouard Ferlet and harpsichordist Violaine Cochard. Considered one of the finest ambassadresses of her instrument and also a great lover of Bach, she recorded, on an exceptional instrument, an album that drew considerable attention. This disc is the result of that meeting of struck strings and plucked strings. Side by side, each at his or her own instrument, the two musicians carry on a dialogue about Bach’s music, between original text and improvisations…

First-prize winner in the International Harpsichord Competition in Montreal in June 1999, Violaine Cochard worked with the finest teachers to develop a personal and inventive style. In 1991 she was awarded a first prize at the Conservatoire (CNR) in Angers, where she studied with Françoise Marmin, and entered the classes of Christophe Rousset and Kenneth Gilbert at the Paris Conservatoire (CNSM). Three years later she graduated with three first prizes – for continuo and harpsichord – awarded unanimously by the jury. She continued her training with Pierre Hantaï and Christophe Rousset (advanced course at the CNSM in Paris).

Violaine Cochard approaches her favourite repertoire with all the virtuosity and poetic sensitivity we know. The French harpsichord school shone throughout Europe during the 18th century. After the chiaroscuro of Couperin, in the wake of the great Rameau, a whole generation of musicians made the instrument sound with dazzling opulence, injecting into their scores the advances of opera, while preserving the expressive refinement of their elders.
