Marie Radauer-Plank (violin), Henrike Bruggen (piano)
True to the motto "Stay curious," Audax Records offers a second excursion through the catalog of Greek-born composer Helene Covatti and her husband Robert Dussaut. After an album devoted to the songs of the couple (ADX13722 with Adriana Gonzalez and Inaki Encina Oyon), here the Bruggen-Plank duo presents their works for violin and piano, some of them in premiere recordings. With extensive experience in the twentieth-century repertoire, Marie Radauer-Plank and Henrike Bruggen approach this music with flair and an impressive palette of colours and complete the album with works by composers close to the couple in Paris during the inter-war period.
Helene Covatti (1910-2005), Arthur Honegger (1892-1955) , Robert Dussaut (1896-1969) , Vincent d'Indy (1851-1931)
The Brüggen-Plank Duo’s sinuous playing and perfect balance project its mysteries with perfect clarity. Honegger’s Sonata is similarly impressionistic, but adds the mercurial energy of its Presto. We end with D’Indy’s soulful, questing Andante.
