Snapshots of Lutetia - La Defense Concerts

One of the things I will miss in Paris, is the irregularly regular free classical music concert in La Défense. Now and then, a group of professional musicians performs classical music in the halls of the La Défense public transport station. And, unlike a lot of musicians you find in the Parisian subterranean transport system, these guys are GOOD! Often, they play one of my favorites: the Canon of Pachelbel. And, they play it very well. Always when I hear them, on my way from the deep down RER A to the Tramway 2, I take that small detour to listen to three or four pieces. It is like a little present on your way to work. Just forgetting about time, listening, enjoying the moment, and being happy.

Just heard Pachelbel canon first time on wikipedia (solo piano). Its good. However a solo piano and a complete orchestra (is that what its called) could make a lot of difference.

Hi Sunil, It should be good in piano as well, but this is a group of string-instruments only, and then it is really amazing!
