Description

On American soil, where Antonín Dvořák composed his famous cello concerto, a unique encounter resonates between European classical traditions and Native American and African-American cultures. Raphaël Jouan embodies this openness, blending virtuosity, improvisation, and emotion at the heart of music that is both deeply rooted and distinctly universal.

In this recording, Jouan delivers both a passionate and refined interpretation of the concerto and emblematic works by the Czech composer, making every note vibrate with rare sensitivity. Accompanied by the Orchestre national de Metz Grand Est under the direction of David Reiland, he reveals the full richness and poetry of the sonic landscapes of an inspiring America.

A vibrant tribute, where the cello becomes a powerful and intimate voice, celebrating the union between tradition and modernity.
