Letters from Paris - CD (Signed)

Viral guitar sensation Alexandra Whittingham is proud to present her debut album on Decca Classics. Repertoire by some of France’s best-loved composers alongside pieces which you may be discovering for the first time. From melancholy miniatures to the soaring melodies of French chansons, this is an album which gives us the space to contemplate, marvel and hope. Features seven specially commissioned new arrangements, guest appearances from other musical stars and two arrangements by French guitarist and composer Roland Dyens, one of Alexandra’s idols.

"With her album, Alexandra has offered up so much of herself. She has taken us waltzing, singing and crying through the streets of Paris, revealed hidden corners and magical secrets, and allowed us the chance to dream." - Laura Snowdon (Booklet note: Letters From Paris)
