Destination Paris (Édition Limitée)

Description

"For this new exploration of the immense and rich repertoire of music, my guide was...Paris. Absolute capital, cosmopolitan, poetic and ingenuous, swirling and cultivated, rhythmically inspired by multiple sources, Paris, timeless, Paris, city of the 2024 Summer Olympic Games. Paris, inviting Rameau and adopting Offenbach, welcoming Cosma and paying homage to Debussy, Fauré or Ravel. Paris, saluting the premiere of Carmen and the first steps of Franz Lehár, humming Francis Lai and Michel Legrand, walking hand in hand with Edith Piaf and Yves Montand. And Jean-Jacques Goldman, for whom I have held a particular admiration since childhood thanks to Aude, my older sister, honors us with a new song, "Pense à nous". This album is the diary of that journey, my Paris and yours, crossing all styles and all eras. An endless reverie where each work welcomes another. I have entrusted, once again, the cello arrangements to my faithful accomplice, Jérôme Ducros, accompanied by the Orchestre de chambre de Paris under the direction of my friend Lionel Bringuier."
