Synopsis

Album Description
Who more qualified than conductor Sylvain Cambreling to take us on a musical tour of Paris through three centuries? Beginning with the splendor of Rameau?s ballet music, Cambreling provides a superbly nuanced reading. Mozart?s popular ?Paris? Symphony is deftly interpreted. That French arch-romantic, Hector Berlioz, is represented with the virtually unknown Ouverture Les Francs-Juges from his completely unknown opera of the same name. With ?L?Icone paradoxale? by contemporary composer Gerard Grisey, we are ushered into an Avant-Garde salon, where we rub elbows with Boulez and Derrida in a futuristic musical landscape. With Sylvain Cambreling to lead the way, the City of Lights has never shown more luminously.
