The latest album by Lena Kravets & Tobias Kassung was released in autumn 2023: "La lumière du sud - the light of the south". It is dedicated entirely to the masters of French music. The vastness of the French coast, the high, blue sky and the special light have always inspired French artists to create special works of art. In music, too, lightness merges with southern flair and the French way of life.
The vastness of the French coast, the high, blue sky and the special light have always inspired French artists to create special works of art. In music too, lightness merges with southern flair and the French way of life. Great impressionists such as Claude Debussy and Gabriel Fauré meet the baroque master Marin Marais and the contemporary Parisian composer Mathias Duplessy, who marvellously combines French lightness with flamenco and Brazilian bossa nova. The piece "Capriccio à la lumière du sud", written by Tobias Kassung himself, forms a bracket in the programme - a homage to the tango and the light of the south.
