Alexandre Desplat

Description:

A live recording of Academy Award-winning music and other film music works arranged and conducted by the master himself, Desplat, for Payu's flute! The film music composer Alexandre Desplat is considered one of the best film composers of our time, having won Academy Awards for "The Grand Budapest Hotel" (2014) and "The Shape of Water" (2017). He plays a major role in this album, this time arranging his own works for flute and orchestra for Emmanuelle Pajou and personally conducting the Orchestre National de France. The album, entitled "Airlines," includes the two aforementioned works as well as original compositions that "evoke images in your mind as if you were watching a movie. For example, Debussy, Fauré, Sibelius, Schoenberg, and others have written music to Maeterlinck's masterpiece "Pelleas et Melisande," but Desplat has written beautiful music that seems to surpass them all, as a concerto symphony for flute.Each piece is written in such a way that the flute, which Desplat cites as his "most beloved instrument," has a large presence throughout, and Payu responds to it, making for an excellent collaboration.
