Description

The two sisters Lea and Esther Birringer offer us a pure moment of European romanticism, with Liszt, Grieg, and Franck. Franz Liszt is the focal point of this program imagined by the two sisters Lea (violin) and Esther (piano) Birringer. Indeed, Liszt faithfully supported the work of Grieg, and César Franck's taste for complex motifs and movements comes from his admiration for the Hungarian composer. The Birringer Duo gives the choice of pieces a perfect coherence of style and play, and they conclude with the magnificent sonata by Franck, which has become a pinnacle of the French chamber repertoire. Discovering a singular chamber music duo, that of Léa and Esther Birringer, two German sisters united by a common passion for the romantic period, but not only. They are great musicians each leading an international career. * The success of this recording comes from the quality of the chosen repertoire: the Violin Sonata by Grieg as an introduction, followed by Liszt's Two Elegies, ending with Franck's sonata: demanding and beautiful, simply.
