Exploring late 19th and early 20th-century French repertoire, Anna and Julia soar through the seasons in a wonderful array of chamber music for solo violin and piano with their new album ‘Les Saisons Françaises’. Recorded at the oldest professional recording studio in St Petersburg, ‘Les Saisons Françises’ features works by Debussy, Boulanger, Ravel and both the original and rewritten versions of the last movement of Poulenc’s last sonata for violin and piano.

WildKat is delighted to be working with Anna Ovsyanikova and Julia Sinani on PR for their new album released July 3rd.
