Romanian-born sisters Sarah and Deborah Nemtanu form a violin-playing dynasty: Sarah has been leader of the Orchestre National de France since 2001 and Deborah leads the Orchestre de Chambre de Paris. Both began violin studies with their father Vladimir who led the Orchestre National Bordeaux Aquitaine.
The Nemtanu Sisters’ Romanian blood makes them the perfect, idiomatic interpreters of Bartok’s 44 Duos: all the songs and dances are based on folk music from many Eastern Europe countries. The harmonic and rhythmic freedom demanded by the music is second nature to them, as demonstrated in the notable track: [38] Forgatós: ‘Romanian Whirling Song’.
No strangers to the recording studio, the sisters have previously recorded the Bach Double Concerto to critical acclaim. Norman Lebrecht chose it as a Disc of the week on Sinfini Music: “Their musical dialogue is full of fascination, alternately confrontational and playful, challenging and interactive.”

Bartók composed these 44 violin duets in the early 1930s as a teaching tool – the music gets harder and more dissonant as the collection goes along. They also reveal his love of folk music from Hungary, Romania, Ukraine and neighbouring countries: each tiny study contains a song and dance. French-Romanian sisters Sarah and Deborah Nemtanu grew up playing duets but waited until their careers were up and running independently before they started recording together. Now they’re leaders of the Orchestre National de France and the Orchestre de Chambre de Paris respectively, and this is their second duo disc in as many years. They are both fiery players and they egg each other on in sparky, intuitive exchanges, but they’re used to making big, glossy solo sounds, which swamp the simpler pieces. Their best moments come when they’re at their most introspective: the sombre Wedding Song (Number 13) or the strange, sinewy New Year’s Greeting (Number 21). -Kate Molleson, Guardian
