Paris,
The first steps...

Everything began in 2015 through a series of remarkable human encounters: Quentin Sannié, who had co-founded and led Devialet; radio producer and veritable jazz encyclopedia Claude Carrière; Michel Navarra (a former KPMG partner and grandson of the illustrious cellist André Navarra); and André Vimard, a music enthusiast and fine connoisseur of the various vinyl editions, founder of the Analog Collector shop in Paris. All of this knowledge allowed us to lay the first stones of our craft. The results of our first tests were so convincing that the various producers of André Navarra's recordings agreed to give us access to the original tapes...

ANDRE NAVARRA

THE CELLO

The Lost Recordings pays tribute to the great cellist André Navarra, on the 30th anniversary of his death. Accompanied by his son, our teams have travelled throughout Europe in search of the original original tapes - many of which were still unpublished or abandoned - in order to draw up the artistic testament of one of the cellists and founders of the great French cello tradition. Each of the tapes has been carefully restored using the Phoenix Mastering process that we have been developing over several years, one of the one of the stages of which is based on Devialet technologies. The result is a unique 6-disc boxed set, featuring The result is a unique 6-disc boxed set of all the great cello concertos in unprecedented sound quality.
