With this third monograph in the catalogue, æon affirms its commitment to the renowned composer he has become since his first opuses. Notable for the exemplary quality of the chosen works as well as by the excellence of the artists involved, this disc presents some of Bruno Mantovani's recent output.
The whole represents uncontestable features of the music of our century: energy to take your breath away, an unsurpassable art of orchestration, constantly renewed invention and sensitive poetry… Named Composer of the Year at the 2009 Victoires de la Musique awards, Bruno Mantovani confirms with this disc his place amongst the leading creators of his generation.
