Thierry Pecou is a modern French composer but please don’t be scared by the word modern. Pécou is the kind of modern composer who can be appealing to the classical music listener without scaring him. One of the pieces included here, Soleil-Tigre – a piece he composed in 2009 for cello and piano – represents a crystal-clear example of the accessibility of his music, the fact that Pécou music is released on disc by Harmonia Mundi – a label regularly ignoring modern composers – is of further assurance.
