Following the model of Josef Suk and Julius Katchen, whose recording they regard as the benchmark, Amaury Coeytaux and Geoffroy Couteau offer a version of these masterpieces notable for its plenitude of sonority, at once intense and reserved in its expression.

Within the framework of his complete Brahms cycle, Geoffroy Couteau presents an original programme focusing on the trio Brahms formed with Robert and Clara Schumann, and on their relationship with Joseph Joachim. All these personalities lie at the heart of the conception of both the Concerto in D minor and the transcription of Bach’s Chaconne; two works that also reveal their shared devotion to Bach.
