Our Take

With a title like Exposition Universelle, one might expect Jean-Louis Beaumadier's latest album to be a grandiose, world-changing opus. And while it may not quite reach those lofty heights, it certainly offers a delightful romp through the eclectic mind of this French virtuoso.

From the opening notes of "Parisian Rhapsody," Beaumadier's mastery of the flute is on full display. His nimble fingers dance across the keys, creating a whimsical melody that feels like a stroll through the streets of Paris on a sunny day. But don't let the lightness fool you – there is a depth to Beaumadier's playing that belies his jolly exterior.

Tracks like "Midnight in Montmartre" and "Eiffel Tower Blues" showcase Beaumadier's ability to evoke a wide range of emotions, from wistful nostalgia to playful joy. His collaborators on the album, including pianist François Chaplin and cellist Bruno Pasquier, add layers of complexity to the already rich tapestry of sound.

But it's not all sunshine and roses on Exposition Universelle. The haunting final track, "La Fin du Monde," is a stark reminder of the fragility of life and the impermanence of all things. Beaumadier's plaintive flute weaves a mournful melody that lingers long after the last note has faded.

In the end, Exposition Universelle may not change the world, but it will certainly leave you with a smile on your face and a song in your heart. Jean-Louis Beaumadier is a true master of his craft, and this album is a testament to his talent.
