For the second volume in the Schumann Collection launched with his brother Pierre, Theo Fouchenneret has surrounded himself with a fine team of chamber musicians to immortalise the series of works for wind instruments and piano from 1849. Like a gallery of legendary characters, oboe, horn and clarinet follow one another, giving way to the astonishing Andante and Variations for two pianos, two cellos and horn, in which the sketches follow one another with the intensity of a tale as thrilling as it is mysterious.

Mozart was 22 when he travelled to Paris in 1778, accompanied by his mother. Although he did not achieve the success he had hoped for, his visit to Paris was a major turning point in his personal life and artistic development. Marked by the disillusionment that led him to despise the Parisian public and by the tragedy of losing his mother, his sonatas for pianoforte are tinged with an intense gravity, mirroring the inner turmoil experienced by the young prodigy. At the same time, the castrato Albanese charmed the capital with his Romances, which were popular with the public and from which Mozart drew some of his inspiration.

Du jazz autrement. C’est ce que fait la pianiste Perrine Mansuy pour que l’espace se crée et l’atmosphère s’amplifie. Dans son jeu, ses mélodies et ses échanges avec ses partenaires musiciens, elle se pose ou saute, caresse ou gifle. Avec le bigarré Rainbow Shell, Perrine Mansuy s'engage sur la voie d’une sorte de pop rêveuse. Un rêve qui serait évidemment éveillé. Zébrée des guitares blues et des samples de Rémy Decrouy, soutenue par les percussions de son autre compagnon de route, Jean-Luc Difraya, et l’arrivée du violoncelliste Eric Longsworth qui colore l’ensemble de nuances nouvelles, sa musique romanesque est inspirée des poèmes de Katherine Mansfield. Le chanteur Mathis Haug prête également sa voix à ces instants de vie fugitifs, ces plages de rêve orchestrées par un piano. Au cœur de cet album créatif à souhait, le jeu de Perrine Mansuy est un vrai diadème.
