More Info:

Named after the 18th-century dance-style movement 'Badinerie', this beautiful new album from flautist Julien Beaudiment and harpist Marie Pierre Langlamet offers a diverse span of repertoire, with a rich collection of works from across the centuries.At the heart of the album lies Francis Poulenc's Sonata FP 164, with it's three emotive movements, each painting a vivid musical picture. The wistful Allegro malinconico and the playful Presto giocoso show Poulenc's stylistic intricacies, while Mozart's soul-stirring Adagio from K 285 transports listeners to a realm of serene beauty. Johann Sebastian Bach's iconic Badinerie infuses the collection with Baroque charm.The album further includes Carl Maria von Weber's enchanting Danse des Champs Elysees, Claude Debussy's evocative Beau Soir, and Maurice Ravel's mesmerising Hindu-Lied, aus "Sadko". Highlighting the virtuosity of both artists, the album also features selections from Bela Bartok's Suite Paysanne Hongroise, Camille Saint-Saens' Danse Macabre, and the stirring tango character of Astor Piazzolla.Julien Beaudiment's career spans prestigious stages worldwide, while Marie Pierre Langlamet has been the principal harp of the Berlin Philharmonic since 1993.
