With Airlines, supreme instrumentalist, flautist Emmanuel Pahud, takes the music of an Oscar-winning film composer, Alexandre Desplat, into new realms. The album is entirely devoted to world premiere recordings - of original concert works and of reimagined versions of Desplat's film scores, including Oscar-winners The Shape of Water (2018) and The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014). Pahud is accompanied by the Orchestre National de France, conducted by Alexandre Desplat himself.
"The virtuosic Airlines and the sprawling tone poem Pelléas et Mélisande prove Desplat to be a composer with something to offer beyond the cinema screen...[but] it's the film suites that truly capture the imagination. While there's joy to be had in the sheer familiarity of the hummable themes, Desplat's ability to capture the heart of film stories is made clear, and they are stories he retells here with great flair and abundant musicality." BBC Music Five Stars. Screen Choice. Dec 2020
