The musical logbook of Admiral Jean Cras takes us on a voyage full of poetry, drama and mysterious apparitions. This music, completely unknown today, is deeply influenced by the sea: On his voyages, the admiral always made sure there was a piano on board as an aid to composing. With Maurice Ravel, we enter the world of the Arabian tales of One Thousand and One Nights, which opens up on the other side of the Mediterranean. Charles Koechlin's "Paysages et Marines" shimmers between arabesques and musical impressions of France's rural coasts.
