Sylvie Courvoisier: Piano /
Jacques Demierre: Piano
"In this collection of pieces, selected from among the output of a recording session that lasted almost two whole days
and represented a joint project, the playing reflects the complementary relationship shared by both artists,
who set up alternating contrasts and subtle affinities in a trajectory structured enough to endow it with a formal shape,
yet sufficiently supple to give each partner the leeway for instantaneous and spontaneous expression.
Once again, Jacques Demierre exercises his intellectual and technical mastery and a fair portion of wit in a preconceived compositional approach, arrested and remodelled in the here and now.
Sylvie Courvoisier responds with a rebellious energy that owes a lot, culturally and technically,
to the fact that she has for some time now been an active participant in the fruitful frenzy and creative ferment of downtown New York.
A subtle agreement directs this meeting, as if one would have the Ying of the one evoke the Yang of the other, and visa-versa."
