Louis Vierne is the greatest, most brilliant French organist of his generation. He was born in Poitiers, with an inoperable cataract that would slowly lead to total blindness. The family moved according to his father’s career, a Bonapartist journalist.With his intimate knowledge of string instruments and piano playing techniques, Vierne composed chamber music initially anchored in a style close to Franck and Fauré, later showing inspirations from Debussy and Ravel’s music. This does not imply a lack of personality: on the contrary, Vierne quickly developed a very personal “touch” and, moreover, influences can be exerted in the other direction: how can one not think of Ravel’s Concerto for the Left h*Hand in the sublime Molto largamente of Vierne’s Cello Sonata, written twenty years earlier, and whose echo can also be heard in the later Fauré?

Sharing a very deep connection on and off stage, Camille Seghers and Alexis Thibaut de Maisières have been appearing in recitals for many years in Russia and in Europe. They met after their studies and eventually decided to embark on a musical adventure of their own. Inspired by their multicultural experience and passion for chamber music, they want to share their love for cello and piano repertoire with the audience.
