Didier, Julia / D'onofrio, Sandro
Soires Parisiennes
The music for violin and piano by Edouard Lalo should not be a surprise but it is a surprise indeed! These album by Julia Didier (Violin) and Sandro D'Onofrio (Piano) follows the editorial plan of NovAntiqua records to anlarge the period instruments performances to the complete repertoire pof the XIX Century. So, D'Onofrio plays on a wonderful Erard Grand Piano from th year 1844 and Didier a Marconcini violon from the year 1778 in original shape. With this kind of sound the music of Lalo shines in its original elegance and humor giving us the real idea of the virtuosity of the french violin style of that time.
