Live from Wigmore Hall, Carousel Ensemble perform Debussy, Ravel and Wim Henderickx.

Carousel Ensemble perform Debussy's Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune and Première rhapsodie, Ravel's Introduction et Allegro and Wim Henderickx's Lagrimas (Tears of Hope).

Based in Brussels, the Carousel Ensemble was founded in 2019 by clarinettist and former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist Annelien Van Wauwe, featuring a line-up of top-class musicians. Here, its septet formation plays works by two masters from turn-of-the-century France, Debussy and Ravel, alongside a 2016 work by the Flemish composer Wim Henderickx, inspired by the Madonna de la Macarena in Seville.
