Jasmine Flower - - Fleur de Jasmin Pascal Bournet Robert Le Gall (violin - baglama - mandolin) CD Mandala/Harmonia Mundi World Music Listen samples

When a classical guitar falls in love with Chinese folk music, when their fusion gives rise to resonance between two cultures, when age-old strings resonate beyond traditions. When Sound becomes Music.
Here, by way of celebrating the opening up to the world of this great millenial country, Pascal Bournet offers us 16 musical pieces representing several Chinese provinces, all performed on the guitar and in certain cases accompanied by a violin.
Here, in keeping with the spirit of his previous albums, the register of his favourite instrument finds an original opening.
