Product Description

Jean Françaix's "Musique pour faire plaisir" is a delightful journey through the neoclassical and chamber music genres, released in 1987 under the Wergo label. This 44-minute album is a testament to Françaix's virtuosity and his ability to blend classical elegance with playful modernity. The album opens with "Onze variations sur un thème de Haydn," showcasing Françaix's mastery of classical forms, followed by "Mozart new-look," a fresh take on Mozartian themes. The titular "Musique pour faire plaisir" suite is a highlight, featuring a charming waltz introduction, an élégie, and the grand valse démocratique "L'embarquement pour Cythère." Françaix's homage to Papageno from Mozart's "The Magic Flute" is a whimsical interlude, while "Quasi improvvisando" offers a taste of his improvisational skills. The "Danses exotiques" suite is a vibrant exploration of global rhythms, from the lively Pambiche and Baiao to the sultry Mambo and the energetic Rock'n'Roll. Françaix's wit and technical brilliance shine throughout, making this album a captivating listen for both classical aficionados and curious newcomers alike.
