The breadth of styles showcased in French Connection is unified by saxophonist Guido B\\xe4umer's even and a warm tone.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eMany of the works on this collection belong to or are related to impressionism, including stunning pieces by Debussy, Schmitt and Jolivet, although there is also music from composers such as Milhaud, who rejected and moved beyond impressionism, alongside works of the earlier, more Romantic French school. Some of these Romantic pieces have been adapted from their original incarnations for flute and piano; Guido B\\xe4umer's first instrument was the flute, so he is uniquely placed to interpret this material with fluency and finesse. The collection is rounded off by Argentine composer Piazzolla, whose Tango-\\xc9tudes combine the discipline of the French instrumental study with the unmistakeable rhythmic pulse of the tango.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eOn of many highlights, French Connection includes the evocative Tableaux de Provence by Paule Maurice, who was inspired to capture the essence of Proven\\xe7ale life by a holiday she spent in the region with the great saxophonist Marcel Mule and his wife, and with her husband, fellow composer Pierre Lantier.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eThe first saxophone record owned by Guido B\\xe4umer was a collection of French music. He became so enthralled by it that he decided to become a classical saxophonist. Now, this process comes full circle, as, with pianist Alad\\xe1r R\\xe1cz, he pays tribute to the repertoire which so caught his imagination - and changed the course of his life. \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eThis is the second Odradek CD from this duo, following the success of their debut disc, Flashback.\u003cp\u003eAndr\\xe9 Caplet:\\xa0L\\xe9gende (1903)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFran\\xe7ois Borne:\\xa0Fantaisie Brillante\\xa0sur Des Airs De\\xa0'Carmen' (1900)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClaude Debussy:\\xa0Rapsodie (1901\/08)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEug\\xe9ne Bozza:\\xa0Aria (1936)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlfred Desenclos:\\xa0Pr\\xe9lude, Cadence et Finale (1956)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUles Demersseman:\\xa0Fantaisie\\xa0sur Un Th\\xe8me Original (1866)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndr\\xe9\\xa0Jolivet:\\xa0Fantaisie-Impromptu\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJean\\xa0Fran\\xe7aix:\\xa0Cinq Danses Exotiques (1961) -\\xa0I.
