In the Darche family, after Mr. Alban the saxophonist composer (featured February in the "Tomb of Poulenc"), here is Madame Nathalie, the pianist who is actively involved in Alban's projects. "Because two pianos is already an orchestra," she says, she joins Carine Llobet for a 176-key dialogue in "Oil" subtitled Refined Creations for Two Pianos. Starting from the idea that "oil is as much what has advanced the man as what can lead to its loss", they have asked seven composers of their friends to end up with the dozen pieces that make up this album. Thus, under their fingers, they will listen to the works of Baptiste Trotignon, Mathias Rüegg, John Hollenbeck, Alban Darche, Geoffroy Tamisier, Victor Michaud and David Chevallier. Different personalities but a very coherent set thanks to the virtuoso and enthusiastic playing of the two pianists. A beautiful record that can take another dimension scenic in a concert-narrative with the contribution of Matthieu Auzanneau, journalist author, among others Black Gold, the great story of oil that will offer seven stories on the black gold, his birth to his disappearance.
