Ismaël Margain and Guillaume Bellom take us on a musical journey rich in rare tones, thanks to the somewhat unusual combination of two grand pianos on the same stage. Drawing on the repertoire of the Belle Époque – compositions by Saint-Saëns, Massenet, Bonis, Chaminade, Debussy, Chabrier and Ravel – they travel the world from east to west, starting in Japan, then, after crossing the Suez Canal, heading for the sunny roads of Spain. The rare experience of hearing pieces for two pianos is combined here with the pleasure of listening to French composers of the turn of the twentieth century taking inspiration from traditional melodies to express their modernity.
