About "L'heure du berger : Françaix: L'heure du berger: I. Les vieux beaux" by Catherine Cantin
Françaix’s Les vieux beaux is a wry portrait of aging dandies, all charm and affectation. Cantin’s flute leads with sly elegance, the ensemble a cabaret of arched eyebrows and knowing glances—lightness tinged with a gentle, melancholy irony.
