Denis Pascal and his sons Alexandre and Aurélien are united by a unique bond that can only come from family ties in music, and invite us on a fascinating exploration of Czech music between the 19th and 20th centuries. The national composers gradually emancipated themselves from German influence and infused their aesthetics with the melodies, colors and rhythms of their homeland. Bedrich Smetana was the first to follow this seminal path, and in his Trio op. 15, in which he mourns the death of his beloved daughter in 1855, the darkness is sometimes illuminated by purely Czech colors. In his trio "Dumky" (1891), Dvorák accentuates this tendency brilliantly, with a gripping expressive palette and an admirable perfection of composition. The Elegy by Josef Suk is a tribute to his older brother and also adds echoes of antiquity, not unlike French Impressionism.
