Born in 2017, the duo Bartissol – Wagschal works on exploring the vast repertoire of sonatas for cello and piano.

Playing key masterpieces as well as unjustly forgotten works, these two demanding musicians are now involved side by side in ambitious projects, including the recording of the entire works for cello and piano by Camille Saint-Saëns in the fall of 2019.

Laurent Wagschal
