“Alexander Malofeev restoring the beauty of notes as a magician himself.”

“We are caught up in the sensitivity of the score as much as that of Alexander Malofeev.”

Alexandre Kantorow

Kantorow at the top

“What’s striking about Alexandre Kantorow is this rather rare mix between a very pure touch, almost crystalline, and a completely romantic passion when necessary.”

Alexandre Kantorow

Kantorow and Argerich Perform a Piano Duo at the Verbier Festival

Between the regal Argerich and Kantorow, who is utterly consumed by music, the chemistry is perfect. To the audience’s acclaim, our two artists perform Brahms’s rare “Souvenirs de Russie” for four hands a welcome respite from this sweltering heat.

Vassilena Serafimova

France’s oldest music festival rises from the ashes

“Vassilena Serafimova’s virtuosity plays a major part in this little miracle.” “Her legato (yes, the legato of a percussionist…) lulls the audience into a state of semi-trance, both ecstatic and exhilarating. A magical moment, met with a thunderous ovation from an enthusiastic audience.”

Vassilena Serafimova

Closing concert of the Festival Rhénan in Strasbourg

“It was Vassilena Serafimova, who has just been appointed artistic director of Les Percussions de Strasbourg, who performed the concerto (you can read an interview with the Bulgarian percussionist on our website). This lively piece, with a second movement that pays homage to the tango, was a huge hit with the audience, who applauded enthusiastically and called for an encore that ultimately did not materialise.”

Paul Lay with the Orchestre National de Lille

“The piano solos showcase Paul Lay’s virtuosity.” “An Ebony Rhapsody is a wonderful discovery that will delight fans of both jazz and classical music.” “A long piano solo—at first melodious, then much more rhythmic—showcases the pianist’s incredible performance.” “This jazz trio is truly magical.” “It’s like we’re in a club from the early days of jazz in Harlem!” “Frenzy takes hold of the trio; the pianist seems spellbound by the music, almost in a trance.”
