„Jeux de cartes“
Between Tour Eiffel and Montmartre


Clarinet: Michael Riessler Barrel organ: Pierre Charial


Pierre Charial has become a living legend of the barrel organ due to his ability to draw such brilliant and beautiful sounds from his beloved instrument. One of the reasons for the unusual artistry of Charial is the skill with which he creates his punched music rolls to produce such a variety of sound, motivating clarinettist Michael Riessler to choose the name „Jeux de cartes“ for the programme which the two musicians will perform together in Dessau. It comes as no surprise to learn that one critic has called him France's greatest musical secret. However, the success of the Duo is not just down to the work of Pierre Charial: Michael Riessler, one of the most sought-after clarinettists in Europe, is renowned for his creative programming and for the way in which he explores the space between modern classical music and free, improvised jazz. His imaginative, entirely unpretentious and yet deeply impressive playing makes him an ideal partner not only for Pierre Charial, but for many other performers.
