The release of this music seems to point to the artist’s love for the French capital, as each track in this recital-like compilation has a connection to Paris. • In his artistic manner, Altmann expresses his love for the city of love. He has even arranged some of these works himself for this combination of instruments. • He is joined by a virtuosic ensemble of colleagues, which include pianist Mako Okamoto, violinist Gesa Jenne, bassist Ryutoaro hei, and accordionist Anne-Maria Holscher.
