He shows it again in this recording based on Zoltán Kodály and the Sonata Op.

8, a monument for solo cello that is both immense and revolutionary.

Adding to the interest of this exciting record is Ruralia hungarica, a collection by another Hungarian composer, Ernő Dohnanyi, recorded as a world premiere in its version for cello and piano.

Aurélien Pascal displays in this album the full range of a breathtaking virtuosity, as much as a musicality celebrated everywhere.

In Paloma Kouider, he finds a partner with a brilliant and committed piano.
