About
A couple in life as well as on stage, Nurit Stark and Cédric Pescia are literally captivated by Bloch’s music and personality. Between them, they combine the composer’s origin and nationality. In a programme that unites the two Violin and Piano Sonatas and the Piano Sonata, they passionately promote works where calmness alternates with hysteria and folklore with mysticism.
According to Bloch, the programme of both Violin and Piano Sonatas, composed in 1920 and 1924 respectively, is as simple as can be: the first shows the world “as it is, with the violent opposition of primordial and blind forces” and the second depicts it “as it should be, according to our dreams”.
This dichotomy is at the heart of the rare and amazing Sonata for Piano solo (written close to Geneva in 1935): the second movement idyll “Pastorale” is framed by two sombre, violent and martial movements, which forewarn of horrors to come.
Indeed, as the recording had just been completed, Cédric Pescia chose words he is not accustomed to using to describe it: “this CD is pure dynamite!”
