Le pari des bretelles Félicien Brut, Quatuor Hermčs, édouard Macarez

It was a crazy challenge to imagine the accordion, this "piano with straps", finding its place in all styles, all places, all musical aesthetics. Yet this is the challenge that these generations of instrumentalists have taken up, of whom we are the heirs, from Tony Murena to Marcel Azzola and including the one who, on his own, shines in all

repertoires: Richard Galliano. The programme of this disc presented here retraces the history of the "piano of the poor" and recalls the constant permeability between

scholarly and popular music, highlighting the cultural crossbreeding of the last century, the result of so many innovations.
