“A return home”
"We made this fusion between the classical and the more modern world, always looking for sounds that go well together. And it's true that the violin-cello can go well with lots of different styles", explains on the microphone of Europe 1 Camille Berthollet. And with this new opus, the artists reopen the door to their childhood bedroom with a bow. “It’s a return home. It’s a return to what we listened to when we were little, to what our parents introduced us to,” continues Julie.
Before Camille adds: “It’s a beautiful tribute I want to say to the composers and the titles who gave us this love for music”. On the program: classical, pop and rock without picks or sputtering amps but well tuned and just as effective.
