I
appreciated especially the musical quality of the playing. Malinee Peris has given
a very refined interpretation of this French music. I will broadcast this CD (BR127)
on the Radio Station Klara (the Classic Radio of Flanders), so a lot of Belgian
Radio listeners will enjoy the playing by Malinee Peris.
