Romain Leleu - Inspirations (2016)

The prestigious French music magazine Télérama recently credited Romain Leleu with ''restoring the trumpet's prestige.'' A worthy representative of the grand tradition of the French trumpet school and a musician-adventurer, he is always ready to explore new universes. Since winning the Victoires de la Musique Classique award in 2009, Leleu has made a name for himself on the international scene, demonstrating breathtaking technique combined with a sonority of rare beauty. On Inspirations, he travels off the beaten path, taking his trumpet on a journey from early 20th century salons to Latin American dance floors. He revisits melodies as legendary as they are spellbinding in performances filled with elegance and jubilation.
