With this new Analekta album, pianist Alain Lefèvre offers a rare recording of André Mathieu's Piano Trio, written more than 15 years after the first recital that was to change the composer's life forever and of his Piano Quintet, his final work. Alain Lefèvre wants the audience to discover a masterful composer, who privileges a musical language in the tradition of the great French schools, anchored in the 20th century. Chausson's Concert, a masterwork of the chamber repertoire, is also featured, a true concerto for piano and violin, with the two solo parts projected against the background of a string quartet. Alain Lefèvre is joined here by his brother, violinist David Lefèvre, and members of the Alcan Quartet.
