Discophilia (J-C Hoffelé)

Posted on by jocelynadmin

Cd review: Jocelyn Aubrun and Aline Piboule play those unusual opuses with grace and make them sound like an evidence. Tone very free of the first one, the ample phrasings where the breath never appears, amber color which reminds that of René LeRoy, wide singing but which knows also how to make private conversations – the Sonata of Prokofiev proves it, never so finely detailed without we lose the line of singing, because it always finds the character exact.

They are exquisitely played by Jocelyn Aubrun and his excellent partner Aline Piboule. Aubrun plays with a beautiful, focused tone, outstanding accuracy, perfect articulation, and a clear love of the music he is performing. Aubrun is a lovely player, musical, and a perfect accompanist. They are a unified team, perfectly matched in style and interpretation.(Cd 1943 Review)
