![Prevost / Collerette / Bozec - Sonates - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/fe841820-7b56-4493-b540-57bf59b3c328.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
On this new recording, an exceptional duo of musicians from the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, Hélène Collerette (1st violin) and Anne Le Bozec perform a program of three sonatas. The three works - spanning barely forty-three years, Florent Schmitt's op. 68 (1918-19), Albert Roussel's op. 28 (1924-25) and an early work of André Prévost form 1960-61, conceived when this Ontario-born composer of old Quebec descent was attending classes in Paris with Olivier Messiaen and Henri Dutilleux - epitomize a vibrant period for French chamber music and it's sphere of influence. Rhythmic energy galvanizes this Franco-Canadian programme from start to finish, innervating passages of expressive intimacy with the same intensity as wilder pages bristling with vigor.

Composed late in the composer's life, Beethoven's Diabelli Variations are considered to be amongst the greatest masterpieces ever written for keyboard. Recording inside the Beethoven-Haus a uditorium, just next to the house where Beethoven was born, Franco-American pianist and founder of the International Beethoven Project George Lepauw begins a new journey of his own with this first recording in a series covering the works of Beethoven.
