French Reflections, vol. II: Vienna to Paris (2024)

Vienna and Paris have long been cultural powerhouses across art forms. Haydn, the founder of the Classical style, and Mozart, who refined and augmented it, are represented in this volume by beloved works for chamber ensembles. Fauré, Françaix, and Ravel then offer their effervescent French perspectives on trios and mixed wind ensembles.
