Robin : Fantaisie mécanique, pièces contemporaines pour orgue

Description

The author of a remarkable body of work in which the organ occupies a central place, Jean-Baptiste Robin is also recognized today as one of the best specialists of the instrument in France. Very eclectic, his musical language draws its influences from various cultures, philosophies, and both Western and Eastern religions, inspired by poems, myths, and legends. In the compositions for instruments and organ that he presents here, Jean-Baptiste Robin is joined by several of the best French soloists. Trumpeter Romain Leleu, clarinetist Philippe Cuper, and pianist François Chaplin, vigorously supported by the Orchestre de Normandie under the impeccable direction of Jean Deroyer, accompany him masterfully through fascinating contemporary compositions that are both intimate and mystical. A surprising album by one of our most promising French composers.
