This album is dedicated to the last years of Imperial Vienna, which gave rise to an artistic effervescence unique in European history. The programme opens with a piano transcription of Strauss's Die Fledermaus and ends with Ravel's La Valse.
“A veritable musical metaphor for the suicide of Europe that was the Great War, both apotheosis and apocalypse. We also hear evocations of Schubert, Liszt, Mahler and Kreisler, all imbued with a kind of nostalgia that belongs only to this mythical city.”
- Aurélien Pontier
