The Chopin Project is Franco-Belgian cellist Camille Thomas' most ambitious project to date, comprising a trio of albums that pay tribute to Chopin's favorite instrument.
The first chapter, "Cello Arrangements", presents a unique and enchanting collection of Chopin's most famous works, arranged for cello by great musicians of all times, from Franchomme, Glazounov, Misha Maisky to Thomas himself.
The second chapter, "Complete Chamber Music", offers the complete collection of Chopin's works for chamber ensemble, featuring Thomas and a group of world-class musicians such as Daniel Hope, Julien Brocal, Julien Libeer and Lucas Debargue.
Finally, in "The Franchomme Legacy", the third chapter of the trilogy, Thomas explores the relationship between Chopin and his close friend and fellow cellist Auguste Franchomme. In this collection she shows the influence Franchomme had on Chopin's music and the deep connection between these two great musicians.
Thanks to the Nippon Music Foundation, Camille Thomas plays the magnificent Feuermann Stradivarius Cello - this iconic 1730 cello has a rich history and unique sound and was also played by Franchomme himself. Accompany Camille Thomas on this extraordinary journey through the world of Chopin and the cello and discover the magic of this timeless music.
