A couple in life and art, Clara Cernat & Thierry Huillet dedicated themselves to music, tirelessly exploring the repertoire for violin and piano from the 18th to the 21st century. Their numerous CDs are the reflection of an intense artistic activity that goes through great popular masterpieces and also likes to rediscover magnificent but less well-known composers, to encourage the creation of contemporary composers and to propose a new way of listening to great symphonic masterworks through the pyrotechnic transcriptions for violin and piano written by Thierry Huillet, from Berlioz to Gershwin.
