Background: Brothers Renaud and Gautier Gautier perform rare and virtuoso works by composers ranging from Bach to Bartók. The Bach works performed are transcriptions by Frederick Neumann for violin and cello (as Mozart did for string trios) of inventions from the Two-Part Inventions and the Prelude in D from the first book of the Well-tempered Clavier, and the dances in the second book of English Suites.

Bringing us right up to date, Karol Beffa, born in 1973, dedicated his two Masques for violin and cello to Renaud and Gautier Capuçon. The album features some arrangements for violin and cello in Bartòk's Hungarian folksongs. Sometimes plaintive but always full of life, these arrangements lose nothing of their picturesque nature in transcription for violin and cello. Composed around the same time as Bartok's folksong anthology was Eisler's Duo for violin and cello, op.7. Hanns Eisler was a pupil of Schoenberg, and composer for the theatre and cinema, collaborating with Bertolt Brecht. This piece is considered one of his most accomplished works.
