Ensemble Arabesques – Jacques Ibert: Kammermusik (2021) [Official Digital Download 24bit/96kHz]

In 2017, the Ensemble arabesques began realising its idea of devoting albums to composers with a special predilection for woodwind instruments. The series was launched with the highly successful CD Gustav Holst Kammermusik. This was followed in 2019 by works of Francis Poulenc. For the third album, Jacques Ibert was an obvious choice. As with Holst, the particular charm of Ibert’s works derives from the various combinations of woodwind and brass instruments, strings and harp that he uses.
