  Savignat et Pécoil - Violons du Cézallier

  A remarkable document :

  • For the date of its realization. It was recorded just after the World War II and about 15 years before the recordings made by the  Museum of Popular Arts and Traditions for the Central France mission realized with Auvergne violinists Michel Tournadre, Paul Cardot et Michel Péchadre. This testimony about practicing the violin in Auvergne shows what practice was 30 years before the large collecting period (in the 70's) on which the major part of our knowledge of this music is based.

  • For the tradition of playing violin in the Massif Central. Excluding two bourrées recorded during the interwar period (on the 78 rpm « le soleil », by Jules Miguel, a musician from the Cantal based in Paris), this is the oldest sound document.

  • For Several pieces of music that are played by both violins with a difference of one octave. We already knew this practice thanks to oral testimonies. But according to me, this is the first document that allows us to listen to musicians playing the same piece, one of them playing in a deep octave, the other one in a high-pitched one.

  • This is one of the rare documents illustrating the musical tradition of Cézallier.
