Jean Françaix had a passion for wind instruments, in particular for the dextuor, an original formation for which he could combine the expressive richness of the octet, so dear to Mozart, with the shimmer and volubility of the wind quintet. Throughout this recording, it was an immense pleasure to immerse oneself in his music, to let oneself go with the contrasting moods and atmospheres, in turn funny, tender, casual or elegiac. A pleasure shared by the musicians of the Lausanne Chamber Orchestra, who were keen to showcase their sense of transparency, their musicality and their flawless virtuosity. We are therefore very happy to share these wonderful moments with you, and hope that listening to this disc will bring you happiness and joy.
