Album UK 1989 on Criterion label
Classical (Neo-Classical, Contemporary)
The album consists of 17 pieces, each referring to a specific or generic location, historical incident, or cultural development in Paris since the time of the Revolution. There is a geographical emphasis to the first six pieces which describe the city itself without historical context. The subsequent pieces proceed in chronological order by namesake, as a musical timeline charting the city's rich and often violent history from 1789 to 1989. Mixage et Montage à PRT Studios, Londres
