About

Romain Leleu and his musical partner Julien Gernay, captivated by the sounds of the unique instruments in the Musée de la musique, invite us on a whirlwind tour around the land of the French trumpet and cornet. Other musicians have joined them to add a touch of horn and trombone to these pieces, whether originals or transcriptions of emblematic works from a ‘Belle Époque’ indeed.

Spotlight on this release

Awards and reviews

February 2025

Ravel's Vocalise-étude en forme de habanera is dreamily seductive, the harp-like qualities of the piano’s upper register also to the fore. Gershwin’s Preludes, by contrast, are suitably rambunctious, the central section of the second prompting a striking change of persona in Leleu from bluesy melancholy to rasping, strutting nightclub frontman.
