Camille et Julie Berthollet

Description

75,000 albums sold, 1 million views on YouTube, and 1 million streams; the best classical seller of 2015, Camille's debut album made a splash thanks to the show Prodiges, but especially due to the freshness, talent, and beauty of Camille Berthollet, a 16-year-old violinist with fiery hair and a radiant smile. Already very present on this album, her sister Julie joins her for this second album simply titled Camille and Julie Berthollet. The Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo and its 90 musicians bring a new breadth and diversity. It is conducted by the young conductor Julien Masmondet, and Guillaume Vincent is on piano for the chamber music. A surprise guest: Thomas Dutronc on guitar in Les Yeux noirs. Unmissable hits (Brahms, Khatchaturian, Rimsky-Korsakov, Schubert's Trio) alternate between flair (Brahms / Hungarian Dance) and nostalgia (Schubert Trio op 100), making this album a colorful, contrasting journey between the grand symphonic formation and the intimacy of pieces with piano.
