Celis / Debussy / Jansen - Jeux De Couleurs [CD]

?The idea of the 'Jeux de Couleurs' recording came to us when we thought of combining Frits Celis' trio with one of the greatest works of the chamber music repertoire, Ravel's Piano Trio, and an arrangement of Debussy's 'La mer' by Sally Beamish. Combining well - and lesser- known pieces, performing vast orchestral works in the smaller context of the piano trio, and searching for nuance and colours are recurrent themes in our musical choices. The painting that we have chosen for the cover of the CD, Paul Klee's 'Architektur der ebene', expresses how we feel about the music and what we would like to communicate with it. As is the case with all of Klee's paintings, it is very musically structured and features the use of motifs and an explosion of colour.
