From the Second Empire to the Roaring Twenties, Alexandra Soumm, the Orchestre de Chambre Pelléas and Benjamin Levy paint a dishevelled, nostalgic and swaying portrait of the City of Light that spans seventy years of music.
This recording, a testament to the musical and human affinities forged over many years between these performers, is also a return to the composers’ creative sources, with a first recording of Ravel’s Tzigane in the new Ravel Edition as well as a first recording of the orchestration of Emmanuel Chabrier’s Bourrée fantasque according to the sketches left unfinished by the composer.
From the crinolines of Georges Bizet’s adolescence to the wisps of cigar smoke in the dreamy Brazil of Le Boeuf sur le toit, we dive into an era when Paris set the tempo for cosmopolitan and carefree celebrations.
