Edgar Moreau - Transmission (2022) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

If you were to set out making a film about a charismatic millennial who decides to devote his life to music, Edgar Moreau’s magical first encounter with the cello would provide a memorable opening scene. He recalls what happened in vivid detail: “My father was an antique dealer and took me with him to visit a shop in Paris where he was selling paintings. I must have been three or four years old at the time. At the back of this shop I saw a little girl playing her cello. Right away, I fell in love with the instrument. That’s how everything began.”

Flash forward from that moment, when he saw the store owner’s daughter in the middle of a lesson, to the present. The 27-year-old Moreau enthusiastically discusses his latest project in a conversation via Zoom from his home in Paris. Transmission is a studio recording of pieces for cello and orchestra, made at the height of the pandemic with the Lucerne Symphony and the ensemble’s chief conductor, Michael Sanderling.
