Satie & compagnie

From the poetry of Debussy to the nostalgia of Ravel, from the humour of Satie to the insouciance of Poulenc, the French music of the early decades of the twentieth century was created by fine minds capable of grasping delicate nuances, infinite variations of light on the natural world and the human soul. From the gentlest impressionism to the most outrageous surrealism, the pathways of French music are many and varied - and immensely colourful.
A leading interpreter of Satie, Ravel and Dutilleux, Anne Queffélec is perfectly at ease in the universe of French music, where she deploys the same elegance, the same grace as when she plays Mozart and Scarlatti.
