Laurent Petitgirard States Of Mind - Sax

Laurent Petitgirard's eclectic career as a composer of lyrical and intensely French symphonic music, operas and chamber music is matched by conducting activities at the highest level - experience that accounts for the colourful richness of his orchestration. The rhapsodic concerto 'États d'âme' explores the saxophone's vocal expressiveness. Of the three symphonic poems 'Le Marathon' is an allegory in which the runners represent birth, love and death, while 'Flaine' is a poignant and inspiring journey through art and culture.
