Anne Cartel (flute) et Marie Vermeulin (piano)
Anne Cartel
Close to both new composition and classical repertoire, Anne Cartel defines herself as a sensitive and engaged artist, always ready to push the boundaries of music. She performs frequently with symphonic orchestras as well as in chamber music formations or as a soloist. She has thus
played with orchestras such as the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, the Ensemble Orchestral de Paris, or the Orchestre National des Pays de la Loire, under the direction of conductors like Myung Wung Chung, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Mikko Franck or Armin Jordan.
She has been invited to play, both in France and internationally, in prestigious festivals and halls, such as Wigmore Hall and St John’s Smith Square in London, Festival Présences of Radio France, Festival Messiaen au pays de la Meije, Bourgie Hall in Montréal, Town hall in Seattle, Fundacion BBVA in Bilbao, Cervantino International Festival in Guanajuato, Music on Main in Vancouver, Lille Piano(s) Festival, Mural Museum in Mexico, Ferst Center for the Arts in Atlanta, Barge Music in New York,
French Alliance in New Delhi, Festival Arabesque in Hamburg, Ottawa Chamberfest music festival, Auditorium in Lyon, Arsenal in Metz, Théâtre des Arts in Rouen, Bristol New Music festival, Festival Heidelberg Frühling, Gaudeamus Muzieckweek in Utrecht, Musica Sacra in Maastrich, Lisinki Hall in Zagreb, Gregynog Music Festival…
Passionate about contemporary music, Anne Cartel has found a place with the ensembles Court-Circuit and Variances of which she is a member, and collaborates with the ensemble Athelas Sinfonietta in Copenhagen directed by Pierre-André Valade, as well as with composers like Tristan Murail, Michaël Levinas, Philippe Leroux, François-Bernard Mâche, Mauro Lanza,
Lara Morciano, Michele Tadini and Gabriela Ortiz. Her explorations with the talented Philippe Hurel and Thierry Pécou have led her to several recording projects: Les liaisons magnétiques 2016, Tremendum (diapason d’or) 2012 by Thierry Pécou, Cantus by Philippe Hurel 2015, Sadka by Christophe Bertrand, Imaginary travel by Marc Monnet 2008, cinq degrés de crayonnage by Riccardo Nillni 2012.
Anne Cartel’s musical world is thus defined by a spirit of open-mindedness and the desire to serve the most challenging classical and contemporary repertoires.
Marie Vermeulin
Winner of several grand prizes in international competitions (notably the Concours Maria Canals in Barcelona in 2006 and the Concours Olivier Messiaen in Paris in 2007), Marie Vermeulin has progressively imposed herself on the French piano landscape, distinguishing herself with playing of great sonic richness, and with her engagement with composers and creators of her time.
She is invited to perform in major festivals and halls, in France (Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, Philharmonie, Opéras de Paris and Limoges, Printemps des Arts de Monte Carlo, Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord…) as well as internationally (Europe, North America, North Africa, the Near-East and South-East Asia).
She regularly performs concertos and collaborates in this context with numerous prestigious orchestras and conductors (Ensemble Intercontemporain dir. Pierre Boulez, Orchestre Lamoureux dir. Darell Ang, Orchestre Philharmonique du Liban dir. Walid Moussallem, Orchestre de l’Opéra de Toulon, dir. Fuad Ibrahimov, Ensemble orchestral contemporain dir. Daniel Kawka, Orchestre de chambre de Wallonie, dir. Paul Goodwin, Orchestre Victor Hugo Franche Comté dir. Debora Waldman…).
Her recordings, reflections of her personal affinities, are dedicated to Olivier Messiaen, Claude Debussy, Clara et Robert Schumann, Tristan Murail, Bela Bartok, Charlotte Sohy, Mel Bonis, Virginie Morel…
In November 2014, her entire career was recognized by the Académie des Beaux-Arts, who attributed her the Prix d’Interprétation Simone et Cino Del Duca

CLARAMANIA par Nicolas Derny
Une très très belle récompense pour le nouvel album Clara & Robert Schumann de Marie Vermeulin – pianiste qui reçoit 5 diapasons sur 5!
“Toccatina enflammée, Notturno tendrement poétique, Ballade mélancoliquement rêveuse, Polonaise aussi spirituelle que conquérante, les Soirées Musicales de Marie Vermeulin s’imposent comme l’un des plus beaux moments de l’entière discographie clara-schumannienne. La musicalité de la pianiste française va encore droit au cœur dans son tête-à-tête avec Robert (désarmantes Scènes d’enfants n°1,4,7 et 10, éloquentes Scènes de la Forêt n°1,3 et 9, fascinant Oiseau prophète). Cerise sur le gâteau, la rondeur la plénitude et la richesse du Bösendorfer superbement capté par Hughes Deschaux régalent l’oreille d’un bout à l’autre.” – Nicolas Derny
A First Prize winner of the International Music Tournament (Italy, 2004), and Grand Prize winner at the Maria Canals International Music Competition (Barcelona, 2006), and the Concours International Olivier Messiaen (Paris, 2007), Marie Vermeulin is undoubtedly a major discovery of recent years. In recent years her playing has been noticed for its technical temerity, finesse, and exceptional maturity.
Despite her youth, Ms. Vermeulin boldly engages with demanding works such as Stravinsky’s Trois mouvements de Petrouchka, Schubert’sWanderer-Fantaisie, Ravel’s Gaspard de la nuit. She also plays major contemporary works (Boulez, Murail, Messiaen…), revealing an appetite to play and immerse herself in the widest possible repertoire.
Ms. Vermeulin’s phrasing, her colorful and poetic touch, and her taste for theatrical expression all contribute to an artistic temperament that is distinguishable from the very first notes. Her concerts are greeted by unanimous praise, and listeners are delighted to discover a complete artist with a tonal palette of remarkable richness.
Before her thirtieth birthday, the pianist has already worked with the greatest conductors, (Pierre Boulez, Paul Goodwin…) and has performed in many of the finest festivals and venues in France (Cité de la Musique, Opéra Bastille…) and abroad (Spain, Italy, Germany, Lithuania, Switzerland, Belgium, Algeria, Moldova, Montenegro, Lebanon, Ethiopia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines…)
After her musical studies at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Lyon and the Accademia Pianistica Internazionale of Imola, Ms. Vermeulin developed a special affinity with French music, including the work of Olivier Messiaen. Her interest in Messiaen has been encouraged by the great Messiaen interpreter Roger Muraro with whom she has performed Visions de l’Amen for two pianos.
Coinciding with Olivier Messiaen’s centennial in 2008, Ms. Vermeulin became known for her performances of a large number of works by the composer. Since then she continues to perform Messiaen’s work regularly throughout the world, sometimes coupling her recitals with master-classes and conferences. A regular guest at the Messiaen Festival in Meije, she chose to record this album at the Church of La Grave, known for its exceptional acoustics which were an inspiration for the composer.
