Reviews for his recent release on ATMA Classique
Hidden treasures of the French Cello
Cellist Paul Marleyn and pianist Stéphane Lemelin continue their peregrinations within the French Romantic repertoire with a new opus on ATMA Classique. The two Canadians have already earned their spurs in the discovery and promotion of French musical heritage, notably as former members of the Trio Hochelaga. On the menu: three interesting rarities.” La Presse, Canada
“Dans un doublé royal qui réunit le brillant pianiste Stéphane Lemelin et le violoncelliste Paul Marleyn, nous redécouvrons la Sonate pour piano et violoncelle du compositeur français Édouard Lalo. Privilégiant la beauté, le violoncelliste offre un jeu fluide et particulièrement sobre qui conviendra parfaitement à une soirée au coin du feu. Nous pourrions en dire autant des œuvres de Paul Lacombe et Fernand de la Tombelle, qui s’inspirent beaucoup du travail d’Édouard Lalo.” Ludwig van Montreal, Christophe Rodriguez
“Marleyn and Lemelin are both internationally renowned musicians, recognized for their musicality, their technical agility and their interpretive skills. They clearly bring out the particularities and dynamics of these works, in a rendering that gives them substance and highlights their uniqueness.”
