Info for Notturno

Violinist Eva Zavaro pays heartfelt tribute to her two homelands, France and Poland, in a programme of works by Gabriel Fauré and Karol Szymanowski.

Its guiding thread is night, a source of inspiration to both composers, depicted in pieces that are sometimes virtuosic and impetuous, sometimes lyrical and dreamy under Eva’s intense bow.

She is accompanied by her longstanding musical partner, the pianist Clément Lefebvre, in this nocturnal journey which marks her first recording for La Dolce Volta.

A generation separated them, yet they were contemporaries. Their respective oeuvres, highly personal though they are, were in tune with the times. At the turn of the twentieth century, the last vestiges of Romanticism began to unravel, leaving both men’s compositions, perhaps not yet with their own unique form of modernity, but entirely in their own authentic styles. Did Gabriel Fauré and Karol Szymanowski ever meet? Although there is no documentary evidence they did, Eva Zavaro invites them to converse together here, juxtaposing their works for violin and piano. With Clément Lefebvre, she unveils the marvels they produced, pervaded by the theme of night.
