Saens/ Piazzolla - Works for Bassoon & String QuartetThis album is the fulfilment of a dream and the result of over five years of planning, developing and preparing a unique collaborative project between composers, arrangers and musicians 6 pieces, 6 composers, 4 premieres What inspired me to record this album was the fascinating way the sound of the bassoon blends with the string quartet. My choice of repertoire was based on pure pleasure I chose works that I love to play, some original, others

Jacques Bonnaffe - Dostoievski-Le Joueur

and the driving force of melodic hard rock band White Void

he spent much time in nature

Following two releases featuring Schubert

where in subsequent years he won six national and international prizes

The Smooth Jazz All Stars - Smooth Jazz Tribute Best of Body & Soul

the celebrated composer Alain Goraguer unleashes his inspiration with a haunting theme of melodic clarity

certainly not banal and often adequate and incisive

The core band on this set includes old friends like Marc Ribot and Greg Cohen as well as drummer Jim White

I Pizzicanti set about making this album a reality

but in the energy and intention of each beat

César Cui's charming and lyrical Farniente is an arrangement from a piano original
