The flute has been adapted in Brittany for several decades under the guidance of Jean-Michel Veillon. It is Erwan Menguy's turn to follow in his footsteps, accompanied by Erwan Bérenguer's guitar. This young duo offers a range of themes from Ireland, Brittany and beyond. Erwan Menguy is not just copying the master, he displays his personality as an instrumentalist. A flawless technique, a remarkable mastery of the breath, a wide sonority. Erwan Bérenguer's guitar accompanies this breath in discretion and efficiency with a touch of great finesse. If Ireland is the thread of this recording, with suites of jigs and reels of beautiful workmanship, other territories are also added. A virtuosic detour through the Balkans, a series of Breton tunes by Daniel Le Féon, a master of the genre, show that this young duo knows how to open up doors to other worlds, where many are content to align Irish session themes. A promising duo.
