Sesame

A Ravel of all colors by the Sesame Set! Ravel fascinates as much as he questions: absolute genius of music, idealist, he draws relentlessly from his roots, mixing like an alchemist his original accents with dreaminess and exoticism.

Ravel is as fascinating as mysterious: as an absolute music genius and an idealist, he draws his inspiration from his origins and mixes his original accents with the dreamy and the exotic like an alchemist. By exploring all of his compositions for instrumental chamber music, this album by Ensemble Sésame aims to reflect his endless orchestral colors, nuancing sometimes lively and rhythmic flavours and sometimes sweet and spicy.
