MARTINEAU, JULIEN & BENELLI MOSELL, VANESSA - Beethoven Suits (Sealed) (CD)

On Julien Martineau's third album for Na?ve, the mandolin once again takes centre stage. Together with the pianist Vanessa Benelli Mosell, he has developed a programme that revolves around Beethoven and is characterised by influences and associations. With works by composers such as Corentin Apparailly ("Lettre ? l'immortelle bien-aim?"), Fritz Kreisler ("Rondo on a theme by Beethoven") and Walter Murphy ("a fifth of Beethoven"), the perfectly coordinated team Julien Martineau and Vanessa Benelli Mosell allow Beethoven to appear in the light of his composer descendants. The result is a very special homage with many unexpected discoveries - and with the mandolin as protagonist, which Beethoven was very fond of.
