Jean Claude Vannier et son orchestre de mandolines

Description

Unlike his peers Vladimir Cosma, Ennio Morricone, Lalo Schifrin, Jean Claude Petit, and Claude Bolling, all of whom have composed concertos for Vincent Beer-Demander's virtuoso mandolin, Jean Claude Vannier here delivers an album that is both poetic and offbeat. The mandolin, multi-layered, creates a unique orchestral sound palette, blended with accordion bellows and the composer's "unconventional" use of the solo mandolin: tapping, bottleneck, percussion, extreme high notes... A touch of strings, a hint of childhood, heartwarming melodies, and an ever-unpredictable orchestration... these are the emotions emanating from this album by Jean Claude Vannier.
