November 18, 2008 Nurit Stark´s and Cédric Pescia´s debut CD is out!
Violonist Nurit Stark and pianist Cédric Pescia have been performing together for many years.
Claves Records now releases their first CD as a duo, with works by Ferruccio Busoni (sonata No. 2) and George Enescu (sonata No. 3).
Nurit Stark and Cédric Pescia share a fascination for Busoni (pianist, teacher, conductor, composer) and Enescu (violinist, teacher, pianist, conductor, composer), two revolutionary personalities who had a crucial role in the development of composition AND interpretation in the 20th century.
Busoni and Enescu were great humanist musicians, and their magnificently unusual and indisputably modern compositions are filled with Europe's musical and artistic tradition. They are both learned and daring, and in order to approach and savour them, we need to appreciate audacity as well as culture. We shall then be fulfilled with never-ending treasures. (Etienne Barilier, author of the CD´s liner notes)

February 08, 2008 New CD released!
Entitled "Les Folies Françaises", Cédric Pescia´s new recording is dedicated to three composers whose connections are manifest: Couperin, Debussy and Messiaen.
Debussy’s elegance and clarity are clearly reminiscent of Couperin, and Messiaen was fascinated by Debussy’s innovations.
The musical voyage is made even more agreeable by the absorbing notes signed by Cédric Pescia himself.
