With Chic à la Française, pianist Pierre-Kaloyann Atanassov, violinist Perceval Gilles and cellist Sarah Sultan play a whole French programme taking this chic quite far. It begins with the still romantic Debussy trio, an early work. The overall very passionate Ravel Trio shows Hispanic influences, but has also darker sides due to the outbreak of World War I. In-between the Atanassovs play Hersant’s highly expressive and dramatic Trio sur la Sonnerie de Sainte-Geneviève-du-Mont de Marin Marais, which, despite its passion, is by no means a dark, but rather a humorous piece, performed with a lot of esprit.
In all three works the three musicians find the right tone and the right weight, with a large dynamic range that also cares for the quiet and intimate. Their playing is well balanced, the interplay perfect, so that we can hear gripping performances full of inner tension.
An interesting, contrasting programme in 1A performances, in which the chic neither becomes fashionable nor provocative, but remains honest and stylish in the service of the works. Chic with a lot of gusto!

Article | Rémy Franck | 4 croches sur Pizzicato.lu
Prokofiev’s music is characterized by their stylistic diversity, divided into four lines: the classical, the innovative, the motoric, and the lyrical-contemplative. The Second Violin Sonata shows both the classical and the lyrical lines, in the Scherzo also the motoric character. After having studied together, Kristi Gjezi and Louis Lancien now form a duo. Their very similar view of the music, especially the Russian works, inspired them to make this first joint recording. The deep mutual understanding on the musical level is easy to hear. Their performances are overall successful and contain some exciting moments.

Après un premier album consacré à Dvorak et Smetana couronné par un Diapason d’Or, le Trio Atanassov fête la sortie imminente de son second enregistrement, “Chic à la française“. Les trois artistes souhaitaient célébrer ce style qui nous est si particulier, une élégance savamment recherchée alliée à un air de ne pas y toucher… Le Trio de Ravel, parfaite incarnation de ce style et pièce maitresse de ce concert, sera complété par deux autres oeuvres qu’ils chérissent tous les trois depuis leur rencontre il y a 12 ans au CNSMDP. Alors venez les découvrir et fêter cette occasion avec eux dans l’écrin art déco de la Salle Cortot !

OPUS d’OR pour le CD PROKOFIEV
ŒUVRES POUR VIOLON ET PIANO
Kristi Gjezi (violon). Louis Lancien (piano)
Paraty 149182, Pias distribution
The famous Russian composer, Serge Prokofiev, is here on the menu, with three chamber works for violin and piano. The musicologist, Pierre-Emile Barabier, recently deceased, underlines with pertinence that: “Starting from 1933, and up to his definitive return to the USSR in 1938, Prokofiev progressively became a musician who was basically classical in form, profoundly imaginative harmonically, capable of motorically implacable explosiveness as well as an ineffable and “innocent” lyricism which were the glory of his “Soviet” ballets, Romeo and Juliette, and Cinderella. His youthful causticity and iconoclastic verve made way for an epic inspiration which make these “war” scores invaluable. In chamber music, he was only looking for difficult “challenges,” instrumental experiments, all the while attaining masterpiece status for his Sonata Nº1 for Violin and Piano Op.80.” And it is this work we hear on this disc, along with the Sonata Nº2 for Violin and Piano Op.94a, as well as the 5 Melodies Op.35 bis. Violinist Kristi Gjezi and pianist Louis Lancien share the same sense of musical discourse and their engagement is not the smallest plus of this remarkable CD. Colors, nuances, dynamics, and phrasing are masterfully and abundantly intoxicating. In short, this is a great discographic surprise by two artists whose careers need to be followed.

RESMUSICA – La Clef ResMUsica mars 2019 | Frédéric Muñoz
« Ce disque est un évènement majeur »
« ces œuvres sont magistralement interprétées par des musiciens spécialistes qui ont su retrouver les codes et le style d’un art lointain, glorieusement ressuscité…
Eva Godard au cornet et Volny Hostiou au serpent conduisent leurs instrumentistes et apportent par leur grande expérience de ces répertoires une homogénéité parfaite avec les voix, pour aboutir à un ensemble chatoyant et contrasté. La direction de Thomas Van Essen précise et souple convient parfaitement à ces œuvres dont il a saisi avec ses chanteurs toute l’essence.
