Mongeroult

This album, released on the Burgundy label Seulétoile, is the culmination of an ambitious project dedicated to the music of an outstanding composer. It contains several pieces recorded for the first time, including the six Nocturnes for voice and piano that are part of Beth and Marcia's programme.

Rediscovered in the 2000s, the music of Hélène de Montgeroult demonstrates extraordinary inspiration and modernity and announces the great Romantic composers, born 50 years after her. Although his compositions never cease to amaze musicians and music lovers, they have never been recorded on a French pianoforte of his time.Marcia Hadjimarkos, a great specialist in historical keyboard instruments, fills this gap by engraving an album on a Parisian instrument made by Antoine Neuhaus in 1817 and recently restored by Matthieu Vion. This instrument allows us to rediscover the vast palette of sounds, colors and textures that the composer herself knew and appreciated so much. Marcia is accompanied by rising star Beth Taylor (mezzo-soprano) and Nicolas Mazzoleni (violin).
