"Ravel's Jeux d'Eau is certainly not an energetic piece, and yet it immediately catches the listener in this original transcription by French-American harpist Anne-Sophie Bertrand. There is so much sparkling power of spraying water in these waterworks, and such a communicative force from the performer, that one listens with fascination. This way of captivating the listener with a gripping rhetoric, indeed an interpretive enthusiasm, characterizes the whole CD. Anne-Sophie Bertrand has a talent for storytelling ... The CD's crowning achievement is the final piece, Caplet's Conte Fantastique for harp, two violins, viola and cello, a fascinatingly impressionistic work based on Edgar Allan Poe's novella The Mask of the Red Death that contains powerful drama as well as haunting scenes that Anne-Sophie Bertrand and the Ensemble Ondine intensely shape"
