If one did not already know in advance that the saxophone was invented in France, the GENUIN CD by the Ellipsos Quartet from Nantes leaves one in no doubt of it! The four representatives of the youngest scion of the woodwind family play with the lightness of the Belle Epoque, the sensuality of Mediterranean nights and the elegance of French drivers. From Ravel's veiled Pavane to the burlesque pranks of Jean Françaix: the music on this CD is played with such versatility and color that one doesn't known where to begin or end with the dégustation… A consommer sans modération!
