Description:

The latest work by the brilliant pianist Alexandre Taro, inspired by the atmosphere of the legendary 1920s Parisian cabaret The Cow on the Roof. It was a salon-like venue where the most cutting-edge artists of the timeincluding Cocteau, Satie, the Group of Six, Coco Chanel, and Man Raygathered night after night, and it remains a destination for tourists to this day. Taro commented, If this place hadnt existed, the music of Paris might have been different. This album is a bit different from his previous works, featuring recordings with a diverse array of guestsincluding Frank Braley and soprano Natalie Dessay from the classical world, as well as talented artists from other genres. Its a conceptual album that lets you fully immerse yourself in the world of Tarro, featuring works by Gershwin, Cole Porter, Milhaud, and many others.EMI Music Japan
