This album depicts the essence of modern French music with a sound full of elegance and transparency.
This is an orchestral version of Debussy's early work, Petite Suite, and the delicate colors created by the chamber orchestra led by Paillard and the renowned harpist Lily Laskine stand out.
Laskine's harp is not merely decorative; it determines the overall texture of the music. Her distinctive, elegant touch and soft resonance naturally bring out the poetic sentiment of Debussy, harmonizing beautifully with Paillard's refined conducting. The orchestra, too, maintains a clear, well-balanced French sound without leaning too heavily towards romanticism.
