Info zu Duelles

Raphaëlle Moreau (Violine) und Célia Oneto Bensaid (Klavier) machen einen Streifzug durch Europa mit vier Komponistinnen, die zu ihren Lebzeiten gefeiert wurden, aber seitdem leider in Vergessenheit geraten sind. Vier verschiedene Sprachen, drei Sonaten an der Wende zu den Zwanzigerjahren des letzten Jahrhunderts, zwei Miniaturen aus der unmittelbaren Nachkriegszeit: ein reichhaltiges Klangbild, das dem Genie vier einzigartiger Schicksale eine Stimme gibt: dem der Französin Marguerite Canal, der Kroatin Dora Pejačević, der Niederländerin Henriëtte Bosmans und der Polin Grażyna Bacewicz.
