Jacques Castérède was one of many composers who refused to abandon tonality and traditional forms amid the stormy avant-garde of the 20th century. The 'Quintette for winds' was written in 1953, the same year that Castérède won the Prix de Rome, and touches of Gershwin appear among its witty colours. Neo-Classical restraint in the 'Sonate en forme de Suite' contrasts with the grittier and more modernist 'Musique' for flute, harp and string trio, and 'La Belle Époque' takes us on a whistle-stop tour of classical repertoire, parodying famous tunes by Haydn and Mozart.
