Steeped in Baroque and Renaissance music, fusing influences from the most elaborate musical forms of South America to Frank Zappa, Esquivel or urban Venezuelan avant-garde, Paul Desenne’s compositions are a perfect complement to the thrilling new style of classical performance ushered in by the Venezuelan orchestral movement, marrying the highest levels of tradition and academic knowledge with the pulsating, street-wise energy of an intensely musical culture.
