			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Regular partners on the concert platform since 2007, Tatjana Vassiljeva and Jean-Frédéric Neuburger have issued their first disc together, uniting Chopin and Alkan, both of whom shared a common admiration for the cellist [Auguste-]Josephe Franchomme, who premiered both sonatas on this CD.</p>
<p>Alkan does not give the performers of his music an easy time and the two partners convince not only with their physical commitment, because because the pitfalls are plentiful in this formidable score (especially the Finale alla Saltarella) but also by the attention to and respect of the nuances of the music and the balance between the instruments.<br />
Dark, luminous, with supernatural overtones, the Adagio reaches a mystical density, while the Allegrettino is adorned with a Fauréenne sensuality.</p>
<p>Of lesser [musical] interest, the Chopin Sonata confirms the quality of playing and collusion between the two artists.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>TATJANA VASSILJEVA, winner of the first prize in the 2001 Rostropovich Competition in Paris, has forceful things to say in Chopin’s Cello Sonata with pianist Jean-Frédéric Neuburger (Mirare MIR 107). This intensity of feeling, coupled with her full sound and poetic phrasing make this a striking interpretation. Alkan’s Sonate de concert op.47, a brave pairing, also receives a convincing performance. In the haunting Adagio, prefaced by a verse from the prophet Micah, Vassiljeva paints a very effective tone colour high up on the lower strings, and in the pyrotechnics of the finale, which might have frightened off less virtuosic cellists, the ensemble appears effortlessly immaculate.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ils se produisent depuis quelques années en concert, sont dans la même agence artistique Kajimoto, mais c’est la première fois que la violoncelliste Tatjana Vassiljeva et le pianiste Jean-Frédéric Neuburger enregistrent ensemble. Le prétexte des commémorations Chopin nous permet de re(découvrir) par la même occasion la Sonate de concert de son contemporain Alkan. Tous deux ont écrit essentiellement pour le piano, étaient des virtuoses de leur instrument, ont vécu à Paris, et ont dédié leur sonate pour violoncelle et piano à la même personne, Auguste-Joseph Franchomme (1808-1884), grand violoncelliste et figure musicale de son temps. C’est d’ailleurs avec lui qu’ils ont créé respectivement leur sonate, Chopin en 1847, Alkan dix ans plus tard.</p>
<p><span id="more-601"></span>Figure aussi sur ce disque la pièce pour violoncelle et  piano de Chopin la plus célèbre, un peu antérieure, l’<em>Introduction et  Polonaise brillante</em> op. 3, « des effets brillants pour les salons  et les dames, rien de plus » écrit-il à son ami Titus le 14 novembre  1829. Véritable cheval de bataille de tous les violoncellistes, elle est  interprétée ici avec beaucoup de panache, sans en rajouter dans  l’épanchement et le côté démonstratif.</p>
<p>La <em>Sonate pour violoncelle et piano</em> est une des  dernières œuvres de Chopin, écrite avec difficulté et dans la douleur.  Outre son ampleur, du premier mouvement en particulier, elle se  distingue par sa singularité d’écriture (chromatismes, contrepoint…).  Nos deux jeunes musiciens en proposent une belle interprétation. Tatjana  Vassiljeva a un son chaud, le vibrato n’est pas exagéré, elle se fait à  la fois lyrique, engagée, mais aussi pudique et touchante dans le  célèbre <em>largo</em>. Le dialogue fonctionne avec Jean-Frédéric  Neuburger, bien plus qu’un simple accompagnateur, en particulier dans le  premier et le dernier mouvement, avec un touché souple. Et chacun sait  s’effacer ponctuellement pour mettre en valeur la mélodie de son  partenaire.</p>
<p>Cette conviction de part et d’autre se retrouve dans la <em>Sonate  de concert</em> d’Alkan, les musiciens prenant la partition à bras le  corps au même titre qu’une œuvre célèbre. Ambitieuse par sa forme, sa  durée, ses difficultés techniques, en particulier pour le pianiste, sa  complexité harmonique et contrapuntique, elle contient notamment un <em>adagio</em> où le registre grave et sombre du violoncelle alterne avec les aigus  perlés du piano, créant un climat mystérieux. Vassiljeva et Neuburger se  lancent ensuite dans un <em>Finale alla Saltarella</em> échevelé,  course-poursuite qui clôt de belle manière ce couplage judicieux. À  ranger aux côtés des versions marquantes de l’œuvre ces dernières  années, Emmanuelle Bertrand/Pascal Amoyel (Harmonia Mundi) et Alban  Gerhardt/Stephen Osborne (Hyperion).</p>
