Bartók's 44 Duos go well beyond the scope of their original purpose of illustrating a graded violin method. Sensitively alert to the popular origin of these pieces, based on folk songs from Central Europe to Algeria, Antoine Tamestit and Alexandra Preucil present a strikingly free and fresh reading for violin and viola. As preludes to their performances, they have interspersed several original recordings captured by Bartók during his field-trips.
