First but highly fruitful CD encounter between Marc COPPEY, famous French cellist with a double career, as soloist and as chamber musician after numerous years as member of the YSAŸE String Quartet, and the « PRAŽÁK », who are equally at ease in the Viennese repertoire (the first Vienna school from Haydn to Schubert and the second one from Schönberg to Webern, including Berg and Zemlinski) as in their original Bohemian patrimony. The programme of this CD associates, in an hitherto unpublished coupling, two sides of the work of the author of « the Death and the Maiden » (the Lied and the Quartet!) : the quartet D94, composed for the family quartet by a 16 years old musician, follower of Mozart, and the famous Quintet in C, 15 years later, last chamber music testimony from a man overwhelmed by weariness and an endless rover (Wanderer).
