Three of the Impressionists were just leaving their salon on the Boulevard des Capucine feeling ever so gloomy about their artistic endeavours, when they bumped into Honoré de Balzac. They stopped to talk and Balzac told them that 'To saunter is a science, it is the gastronomy of the eye. To take a walk is to vegetate; to saunter is to live' At that moment the Impressionists decided to saunter through time and Les Arrondissements of Paris and listen to the music that they would hear playing from houses and cafes along the way. As they began Marie Duplessis called to them from afar but they couldn't hear her above the melodies that they were now witnessing and feeling. Upon arriving at Boulevard Haussmann, they met Laetitia Casta who asked if she might join them on their journey - they agreed and continued together on their adventures in melody. This mix is a sample of what they heard along the way.....
