Following the CD Couleur Nuit, this is the second recording by Brigitte Repiton dedicated to the works of Bernard Piris, whose pieces are published by Lemoine, Combre,Transatlantique in France, and by Productions d'OZ in Canada.

Bernard PIRIS studied music at the Marseille conservatory where he was awarded, amongst other prizes, the gold medal in guitar in a unanimous vote. Regularly invited to the most prestigious musical establishments to give master class or to be a member of a jury, he has given concerts throughout France and abroad, and has performed on radio broadcasts for France Musique, RTBF Brussels, M6, France 3. A number of contemporary compositions have been dedicated to him.

His book Fernando Sor, Une guitare í  l'orée du Romantisme published by Aubier/ Flammarion, is considered as an important reference book in the guitar world. He has recorded a disc entitled Récital de Guitare, dedicated to 20th century and Latin American music (Villa-Lobos, Ayala, Smith-Brindle, Poulenc). He is the professor of guitar at the Tricastin conservatory, in the Drome region of France.
Their links with artists such as Sergio Assad, Eduardo Isaac, Leo Brouwer (whose Concerto de Tricastin is dedicated to them) have been defining influences on their career paths and musical tastes.

Their duo concerts have taken them to France, Germany, the Czech Republic, Israel, Quebec, Morocco, Tunisia... as well as broadcasts for Radio-Canada, Radio France, met with critical acclaim from music critics and the international press.
Their repertoire extends from Haendel, Scarlatti to the music of our times, characterised by Piazzolla, M.D. Pujol, Gismonti, Assad, Bellinati...
