Info for Au bord du rêve

Cellist Aurélienne Brauner and pianist Lorène de Ratuld formed the Luperca Duo more than 10 years ago!

Aurélienne and Lorène met at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse in Paris during their years of study. It was following a concert in 2011 that they decided to engage together in an in-depth partnership: the cello-piano duo.

Aurélienne and Lorène perform works from German romanticism (Beethoven, Brahms, Schubert, Schumann), the Russian repertoire (Rachmaninov, Prokofiev, Shostakovich) and especially those from French music which they are particularly fond of.

Aurélienne Brauner plays a cello by Nicolas-François Vuillaume from 1859.

Lorène de Ratuld
Throughout concerts and recordings, Lorène de Ratuld presents a vast repertoire: centered on the romantic period and French music, it also gives pride of place to little-known composers, rare or unpublished works and today's composers (N. Bacri, K. Beffa, S. Bortoli, P. Far-ago, N. Mondon, F. Mulsant).

A student of Brigitte Engerer, she received a rich training at the CNSMD in Paris: after her piano prize with unanimous distinction Very Good, she perfected her skills with Jean-François Heisser (piano improvement cycle), Christian Ivaldi (music of room) and Anne Grappotte (vocal accompaniment). Winner of the Seiler International Piano Competition in 2003, she won several prizes in 2004 at the International Piano Campus Competition, including that of the Classica-Répertoire magazine which published her first recital (“Discovery” CD). In 2005, she received the Lucien Durosoir Prize with Geneviève Laurenceau and, in 2011, the Pro Musicis Prize.

In recital or chamber music, Lorène de Ratuld is a guest at the Auvers-sur-Oise, Piano à Auxerre, Matinales d'Arles, Serres d'Auteuil, Piano en Valois, Berlioz Festival, Epau, 1001 Notes Festival, Ravel Days in Montfort-l'Amaury, Moments musicales de Chalosse… and also performs in Germany, Austria, Belgium, Italy (Bru Zane Foundation), Romania, Sweden and in various African countries. In addition to her duo activity with Aurélienne Brauner, she plays alongside the violinist François Pineau-Benois, the singers Roselyne Martel-Bonnal and Valérie Condoluci, and the Soloists of the Paris Chamber Orchestra and the Bordeaux-Aquitaine Orchestra . Attracted by the theater, she participated in several shows by singer and actor Mario Hacquard.

His discography reflects his artistic choices and his commitment to different artists and labels: Récital Dutilleux/Beffa (“Coup de Cœur” from the Académie Charles Cros), Work for violin and piano by L. Durosoir (“Gramophone recommends”), Sonatas for cello and piano by C. Franck, G. Fauré and L. Vierne with Aurélienne Brauner. Recently, Piano Works by F. Mulsant (“5 Stars” from Classica) and the complete works for piano by J. de La Presle (“5 Diapasons”), previously unreleased on disc, were released.
