So inspiring...

[@gerardbegni2806]

Wgat a charming idea to pay a tribute to watteau through a chamber orchestra without falling into onr of these "return to XVIIIth cenuty" in the manner of Stravinsky ! This is a delicious score and would deserve to be better known.

I'm always surprised to find out that people from the "old world" made recordings, but it's always a pleasure.

[@gerardbegni2806]

What a nice score that these "charms of lfe" according to Watteau. But the scoe is not insipid at all, it is full of life.

[@williamschwartz3918]

Watteau's purported comment "charms of life" is beautifully complementary to this fine work in their intimacy and dexterity and joy. I agree.

Approcher ce qu´est lointain pour le plaisir unique et un peu sadique de savoir que l´image ne devient pas plus claire. Au contraire - Hervé Bazin.

What's the "old world?"
