Scott, Daniel (Arranger): Play Romantic Paris

£8.99

19th century Paris – a city for lovers and artists, a city of nightlife, scandal, sleazy cabarets and café-concerts in the Bohemian district of Pigalle – and of moonlight reflected on the Seine. A city whose unquenchable appetite for life, love, excitement and gaiety is evoked by the brilliant posters of Toulouse Lautrec, and by the equally exuberant music of Berlioz, Bizet, Gounod, Satie, and Offenbach, whose hetic Can-Can encapsulates the spirit of Belle Epoque. But not all is revealed in the smoky flare of the spotlight. Discover the shimmer of Impressionist colours on the City of Light through the exquisite miniatures of Faure. Debussy and Ravel – and Paris will unfold another facet of her mysterious charm.

This selection of enchanting melodies by La crème de la crème of French composers will take you back in time to the Paris of a century ago – the most romantic city in the world.
