Romain Leleu is a Yamaha Performing Artist and has been teaching trumpet at the Lyon Conservatoire since 2018, also leading master classes internationally.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Romain Leleu, the trumpeter, believes that classical music is enriched by borrowings from popular music, seeking a 'point of convergence' rather than opposition between the two.
Instruments
Romain Leleu uses various Yamaha instruments for this recording, including a C trumpet, B-flat trumpet, piccolo trumpet, and flugelhorn, with mouthpieces developed by AJ Atelier des Cuivres Paris.
Performer Biography
Romain Leleu, the trumpet player on this album, gave his first concert at the age of 14 and has since performed as a soloist on five continents.
Interpretation
The Romain Leleu Sextet, formed in 2010, creates its own repertoire of transcriptions for trumpet and string quintet, as there is little original music for this unique lineup.
Interpretation
Manuel Doutrelant, a member of the sextet, arranges the repertoire specifically for each musician, not just for trumpet and strings in general.
Album & Artwork
This album, 'Face(s) à face(s)', marks the beginning of Romain Leleu's partnership with harmonia mundi, alongside his album 'Move'.
