A chamber music party with friends.
Around the piano of David Kadouch, who will first waltz solo, and the bows of some of the Moreau siblings – Edgar on the cello for a Norwegian duet, then Raphaëlle on the violin in a Russian trio – the American David Aaron Carpenter, disciple of Yuri Bashmet, and the virtuoso Lorraine Campet, supersoloist at the Paris Opera, join Schubert on vacation. After Grieg's passion and Rachmaninov's sorrow, the musicians will indeed go tease the trout. Under the summer sun of 1819, dear Franz varies the Lied that his patron preferred: in the current of a pure wave, the way in which the fisherman catches the fish warns young girls against seducers whose rod would hook them too easily. Irresistible.
