Charles Perrault - Barbe Bleue

Review by Kayra Kev

Barbe Bleue is a classic French fairytale written by Charles Perrault. The story revolves around a wealthy nobleman named Bluebeard, who is known for his blue beard and his mysterious past. The album Barbe Bleue by Charles Perrault is a musical retelling of this classic tale, featuring a collection of orchestral pieces that convey the dramatic and suspenseful atmosphere of the story.

The album begins with an overture that sets the tone for the rest of the music. The use of strings, brass, and percussion create a sense of urgency and tension that immediately captures the listener's attention. As the music progresses, the listener is taken on a journey through the story of Bluebeard and his ill-fated wives.

The music is expertly composed and arranged, with each piece conveying a different emotion or aspect of the story. From the eerie and foreboding "Bluebeard's Castle" to the hauntingly beautiful "The Key", the music perfectly captures the mood of the story. The use of different instruments, such as the harp and the flute, adds depth and texture to the music, creating a rich and immersive listening experience.
