Windigo

In March 2016, Alexandre Désilets took over the legendary Studio 12 of Radio-Canada to bring to life the dream of a lifetime, which was to record an orchestral album featuring the repertoire from his last three works. With a musical delegation of seventeen musicians by his side, Alexandre breathed life into Windigo, reimagining his pieces to deliver them with cinematic arrangements by François Richard.
