Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Cardin, <\/a>\u00a0PAN M 360<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rachmaninov\u2019s\u00a0Sonata for violin and piano in G minor, Op. 19<\/em>, is a monster. A monumental work of musical and melodic splendor, but also of technical and interpretative challenge. You\u2019ll never find a satisfactory version where the pianist isn\u2019t as exceptional as the cellist. A true symbiosis is deployed throughout the score\u2019s forty-odd minutes, with the piano often providing the material that the cello will develop more lyrically, in typical Rachmaninovian fashion. A dialogue of equals. And dialogue there is between these two young Canadian artists! No\u00e9mie Raymond-Friset and Zhenni Li-Cohen exchange ideas, themes and melodies in a virtuoso ballet in which all the pieces of the vast edifice of this masterpiece are placed with precision and sensitivity. A reading here made up of marked contrasts, heartfelt legatos and, above all, constant, attentive mutual listening. Li-Cohen is clearly a remarkable pianist. This is evident in her fine attention to detail and the precision of her playing, which is pearly, sensitive and genuinely virtuoso. No\u00e9mie Raymond-Friset is a young cello star whom we still know too little about (in her own country). Her overflowing musicality and intense expressivity are sure to make her a crowd favorite.<\/p>\n

The program also includes Rebecca Clarke\u2019s\u00a0Sonata for Viola and Piano<\/em>, in its version for cello. Clarke wrote it in 1919, and gave it a romantic breath that would certainly not have displeased Rachmaninov, although certain scratches give it a more piquant, modern edge, with also colourings that bring Ravel in the equation. The cello\u2019s expression is powerful, sometimes tense, which Raymond-Friset accomplishes with ease, and the piano, here too, is an equal partner.<\/p>\n

This Raymond-Friset\/Li-Cohen duet is an all-round performer, and we very much hope that this will not be its only recording.<\/p>\n

The album\u00a0<\/strong>Dialogues\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>with Rachmaninov and Clarke Sonatas, will launch the 2024-2025 season of the Chapelle historique du Bon-Pasteur in Montreal, on September 29, 2024. It\u2019s free.\u00a0<\/strong>DETAILS HERE<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And if you happen to be in New York on 20 March 2025, make a beeline for Carnegie Hall, where you can hear the two artists perform the same repertoire, with a bonus: a new sonata written specifically for the duo by Christian Thomas.\u00a0DETAILS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
