‘Violinist Irène Duval, whose poised, fearless energy, chamber intelligence and musical finesse has been attracting the attention of every critic who comes across her.’

Charlotte Gardner, dCs Only the Music

‘Duval can unleash a focused ferocity and a far-seeing wisdom well beyond her years.’

-David Nice (The arts desk, May 2024)

‘Her mastery of phrasing and of the dramatic dimension open her the doors to worlds as different as those of Poulenc, Chausson and Fauré.’

– Gérard Condé (Diapason, october 2016)

About

‘I think of myself first as a storyteller.

A great part of what drives me is a wish to give voice to hidden gems – works that have lived too long in the shadows – in addition to the core repertoire works that I love. When I find a piece I feel close to and believe in, I feel a responsibility to present it as faithfully and fully as I can. To help its meaning shine through my playing. (…)’
