As soon as you start listening to this CD, you are taken to the atmosphere of the Paris cafe: the sound of the accordion and in the background sounds of wine glasses, people talking, bypassing cars....Wow! How romantic!

Among the tracks are some of the most popular accordion pieces: Domino, Under Paris Skies, Milord and the Can-Can. The type of music which makes you feel very relaxed. The pieces are performed with a lot of charm, warm sound, lightness which at times even transforms in to very sentimental performance.

The combination of accordion with clarinet and violin which was presented on this CD, which showed how well the accordion can blend in with other instruments, and also intensifies a picture of bohemian Paris in the listeners mind. Excellent background music!!!
