Violaine Cochard, Édouard Ferlet - Plucked'N Dance


                 

Swirling, playful and sometimes flooring, this is the music in Violaine Cochard and  Édouard Ferlet's latest work. 
Piano and harpsicord are related instruments but very different for sound and timbre, yet the alchemy that this duo presents makes us perceive them as one, astonishing instrument. 
Improvising has been a common practice since the Baroque era and this release proves how it is possible to improvise on counterpoint in a brilliant and ever-original way.
The chemistry between the two instruments is unbelievable. The harpsicord's rigour against the swing inclination of the pianist, bonded by a seldom-seen complicity between musicians, create a really unique atmosphere. 
From Rameau to Satie, with original compositions as well, this is an unexpected journey full of magic.
Buon Ascolto
