Some fifteen years after the beginning of their collaboration, David Grimal joins his two faithful trio partners to record Beethoven’s two great masterpieces in the genre. In both the ‘Ghost’ and the ‘Archduke’, the chosen stance is one of colour and generosity: on this discwe are astonished to meet a Beethoven who has come downfromhispedestal,who ishumanandeven jovial. Where so many others offer rigidity of discourse and fussy sonority, Philippe Cassard, Anne Gastinel and David Grimal illuminate these metaphysical pages with the finesse, freshness and grace of the aquarellist.
