“The first “Joint-R\u00e9cital” in France of Robert and Gaby Casadesus

“Les admirables artistes Robert et Gaby Casadesus ont donn\u00e9 au th\u00e9\u00e2tre des Champs-Elys\u00e9es un concert qui t\u00e9moigna d’une parfaite unit\u00e9, d’un style et d’une musicalit\u00e9 hors pair. A deux pianos, une sonate de Mozart, et trois danses m\u00e9dit\u00e9rran\u00e9ennes de Robert Casadesus remport\u00e8rent un grand succ\u00e8s. D’autre part, la sonate appassionata de Beethoven n’a jamais sans doute b\u00e9n\u00e9fici\u00e9 d’une plus belle interpr\u00e9tation. Robert Casadesus en donna une traduction absolument magnifique, \u00e0 tous points de vue, style, expression, recherche des plans sonores, ainsi d’ailleurs que des pages si color\u00e9es de Debussy et Ravel, auxquelles l’incomparable artiste apporta un singulier pouvoir d’\u00e9vocation.<\/em>“<\/p>\n
