FACE A FACE - ROMAIN LELEU SEXTET

For Romain Leleu, what we call "classical" music could never have gained all it's richness and variety without absorbing manifold influences from "popular" music that continues to be it's fuel since the dawn of time. The French virtuoso, backed by his friends and partners in the Romain Leleu Sextet, has brought into a face to face dialogue with a selection of hit tunes from far-flung sources that transcend genres and national borders.
