Anne Queffélec, a renowned pianist, curates a program that oscillates between moments of melancholy and bursts of rhythmic energy. The album is a charming patchwork of works by esteemed composers such as Maurice Ravel, Francis Poulenc, Gabriel Fauré, César Franck, and even the lesser-known Émile-Louis-Maurice Paladilhe.
