Bassoonist Lola Descours, prize-winner of the prestigious Tchaikovsky competition in 2019, performs an all-Russian program of music transcribed for bassoon and piano.

A passionate advocate for the bassoon and its often underestimated capacity for colour and expression, Lola Descours performs repertoire of great variety, including Glinka, considered to be the first great Russian composer, as well as lyrical Tchaikovsky, romantic Rachmaninov, powerful Scriabin and sardonic Shostakovich. The program is brought up to date with a dream-like piece by contemporary Russian composer Lera Auerbach.

Lola Descours is partnered in this recital by pianist Paloma Koulder, with whom she has made several of the arrangements heard on the album.

The violinist Fanny Robilliard and the pianist Paloma Kouider pursue their chamber music journey with the Trio Karenina by exploring the repertoire for violin and piano of the 20th century.

The infinite tenderness of Hahn’s Nocturne distils the effusions of late Romanticism, as a counterpoint to the stronger modernity of the French giants, who frame this program as pillars. At the heart of the program, the Myths of Szymanowski weave a discourse where the musicians can express their talent and dialogue beyond the words. They equally and with sincere sensibility shape a program in which freshness, passion and maturity are embraced in an intimate dream.
