Performer: David Grimal

David Grimal captures the rhapsodic nature of Chausson and Ravel's scores, but how well does the conductor-less approach work in non-concertante scores? 

How vital is a conductor? At Paris' Salle des concerts – the Philharmonie's second hall – Les Dissonances provided answers. 

C'est un public peu nombreux mais chanceux qui a assisté aux premiers pas des Rencontres Clés au Château d'Augerville, tout jeune festival porté par l'enthousiasme de David Grimal et de ses partenaires.

Richard Tognetti, David Grimal and Daniel Hope, three well-known violinists who also lead chamber orchestras, provide fascinating insights into the changing musical landscape today and the challenges of being both performers and leaders.
