Since 2017, Adam Laloum’s collaboration with cellist Victor Julien‑Laferrière—winner of the inaugural cello category of the Queen Elisabeth Competition—has become a defining chapter of his chamber‑music journey. While Laloum hasn’t competed in the Queen Elisabeth Competition himself, his intimate musical rapport with Julien‑Laferrière, crowned with the Diapason d’Or of the Year, brings the prestige of that competition into his artistic orbit. Their recordings of sonatas and ensemble work in Trio Les Esprits blend lyrical nuance with formal elegance, and have garnered praise from Le Monde, Mirare, and Sony Classical. Medici.tv features several of their duo recitals, and they frequently appear together at festivals like La Roque‑d’Anthéron and Verbier, offering audiences a profound chamber‑music dialogue.
