Un Grand Sommeil Noir

Ten years after their highly praised first album on B-Records featuring Schubert's Winterreise, Nahuel di Pierro and Alphonse Cemin now present a much more intimate programme that emerged from the intersection of their respective musical interests. From Debussy's Trois Ballades de François Villon to Piazzolla and Borges' Cuatro Canciones Porteñas, they combine the musical heritage of France and Argentina. In doing so, they place the marginal figures of Buenos Aires at the centre - the characters who shaped the life attitude of tango and milonga - and set them against Ravel's musical interpretation of Don Quichot. An epic journey through genres and continents, created by two performers who serve sung poetry with passion.
