Thierry Escaich - Baroque Song (2017) [CD-Rip]

Author of more than 120 works, Thierry Escaich is one of the leading figures in contemporary musical creation. His works, in the repertoire of such prestigious orchestras as the Orchestre de Paris, New York Philharmonic and the Mariinsky Theatre Orchestra of Saint Petersburg, are defended by personalities such as Valery Gergiev, Alan Gilbert, Lisa Batiashvili, Renaud and Gautier Capuçon, and Olivier Latry. The winner of, amongst others, three 'Victoires de la musique' awards, his career as a creator is indissociable from his activity as an organist, having become one of the principal ambassadors of the French improvisation school throughout the world. Maurice Duruflé's successor at the organ of the Church of Saint-Étienne-du-Mont, in Paris, he places great importance on transmission in the framework of his teaching writing and improvisation at the Paris Conservatoire, where he has been a professor since 1992. He was made a member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts in March 2013. In February 2017, Thierry Escaich won a Victoire de la musique Classique, as Composer of the Year.
