A century ago there was one show that really pulled in the crowds, long before cinema, and that was shadow puppetry. Music accompanied the story line, and one French composer excelled in this - Paul Le Flem. Over a medieval background, Le Flem wrote a beautiful picture book to accompany Aucassin et Nicolette, with a prologue and three parts. This release is a true discovery and should not be missed.
