Thierry Cazals, the flutist, is an eclectic musician whose practice ranges from early music to contemporary, jazz, rock, and traditional music.

Historical Context

The album explores music from Paris around 1900, a period known as the "belle époque" and characterized by emancipation and freedom in art.

Compositional Technique

The alliance between the flute and organ is considered natural because both are wind instruments, with the organ being a mechanized and amplified version of the flute.
