LE VIOLONCELLISTE PRODIGE EDGAR MOREAU INVITE SES FRÈRES ET SA SOEUR POUR UN PREMIER ENREGISTREMENT EN FAMILLE QUI FERA DATE. The cellist Edgar Moreau, his sister Raphaëlle (violin) and his brothers David (violin) and Jérémie (piano) dedicate their first recording together to Dvorak and Korngold, two great composers from Central Europe for the five Bagatelles Op. 47 by Dvorák and the Suite Op. 23 by Korngold." "We have the same education, we have the same sensitivity. Making music together was a given. I chose for this family adventure to record the two major pieces written for our formation, thus bringing together two immense composers from Central Europe, both of whom went to flourish in North America. Two similar paths, two different aesthetics, and a sibling bond to pay tribute to them, with an innate love and complicity." Edgar Moreau. As David points out, the works for the combination of two violins, a cello, and a piano are unusual: "These are wonderful pieces that are rarely played, so this is an opportunity to bring them to light." When it comes to playing as a family, Edgar believes that "there is something that works almost instinctively," while Raphaëlle explains that "we don't need to look at each other, and we breathe together in a certain way. There is something very strong about that." The program is completed by transcriptions of beloved opera arias from Rusalka by Dvorák and "Die tote Stadt" by Korngold, performed by Edgar and Jérémie.
