Pascal Gallois - Voyages - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

This new CD was created by Pascal Gallois in honor of Pierre Boulez's 90th birthday (Gallois' professional career began when he worked for Boulez in 1981). This solo CD is the reissue of three major works of the bassoon repertoire, including Boulez's Dialogue de l'ombre.

The booklet contains photographs of prisoners taken by the inmates.
