Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of French classical music with Pascal Rogé's captivating album, "Les Six & Satie." Released on Onyx Classics in March 2020, this exquisite collection showcases the brilliance of six prominent French composers of the early 20th century, known collectively as "Les Six," along with the iconic Erik Satie.

The album also features works by other notable members of Les Six, including Francis Poulenc's "Parade," a lively and colorful suite inspired by the world of the circus, and Germaine Tailleferre's "Jeux de plein air," a playful and evocative piece that captures the spirit of outdoor games and pastimes. Rounding out the collection are two works by Erik Satie, whose unique and idiosyncratic style is a perfect complement to the music of Les Six.
Whether you're a seasoned classical music enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, "Les Six & Satie" is sure to delight and enchant.
