She has just the right kind of voice for these songs, and she sings them beautifully. Kathleen Chastain, who happens to be married to Debost, joins him for Koechlin's Sonata for two flutes. Koechlin was a nonreligious mystic, always writing music to honor and worship nature. Debost says that his choice of all French collaborators on this project was fortuitous. I met Aymeric and heard his playing and had the idea for a concert of collaborative pieces, and Marie and my wife Kathleen were just the right people for the music I had in mind.
French music is very sentimental.
I think that since we are all French, we have an inborn appreciation of that sentimental sound, but we are performing together mostly because we have such fun doing it.
