ARISE {suite}

"Quite a challenge, especially considering the diversity of atmospheres and characters in its writing, without losing the thread of this suite of nine pieces."

"ARISE {suite} is an extraordinary album that skillfully combines different musical influences, offering a unique and captivating sound experience. If you are passionate about jazz, classical music, or film soundtracks, we highly recommend listening to this album."

"The bet was ambitious... It is more than successful! Not surprising, coming from one of the most prominent French pianists of the new generation. [...] The result is as pure and majestic as the mountains that inspired Amaury Faye during the writing phase."
