Unusual dialogue
Marc Hervieux and Bogdan Nesterenko present German and Italian sonatas from the 16th century and French music from the late 17th century, in an unusual formation that offers an original and unsuspected reading of this repertoire. The desire to bring together these two instruments, which have never met in their respective eras, is not an eccentric whim, but a shared desire to combine colors and dynamics that are convincing for this repertoire. Similar to an organ in its continuity of sound and choice of highly contrasting playing registers, the accordion is an instrument for the harmonic realization of the bass, as well as the concertante part of a keyboard played by the right hand.
