Duo VarnerinAbout
The programme of this disc revisits songs originally conceived for voice and piano, here transcribed for guitar. Far from risking heretical blasphemy, the principle of transposition is inherent in this miniature form and these ‘manipulations’ enable the conservation of all the characteristics of this musical form. Better still: the delicacy of the plucked strings reinforces this proximity between the two languages, poetic and musical, as if the spider-like touch of the guitar was better suited than the paradoxically heavier finesse of the piano.
This project, however, is above all the outcome of long years of work from the Duo Varnerin, a knowledgeable blend of a beautiful family story and a delicatemusical encounter. Stéphanie (soprano) and Mathieu (guitarist and author ofmost of the transcriptions) both followed an individual pathwith their own musical experiences before, as sister and brother, they joined forces to unite their knowledge, their techniques and their musical affinities in the service of an uncommonly rare programme, with all the tenderness and refinement that these gems of French song deserve.
