The album features a diverse collection of pieces, from the intimate and lyrical Sonates pour Hautbois et Piano by Poulenc, to the dramatic and evocative Six Metamorphoses after Ovid by Britten. Leleux is joined by accomplished accompanists, including pianist Pascal Rogé and the Ensemble Villa-Médicis, in performances that are both technically impressive and deeply musical.
