Message from Madame Irene Mauriat

I am delighted that you are watching "The Landscape in Music".
I am Irene Mauriat, the wife of Paul Mauriat.
Paul was always impatient to find his Japanese audience who welcomed him with extraordinary warmth.
I sincerely hope that you will have a pure moment of pleasure listening to "The Eternal European Sounds by Paul Mauriat".
For me, Paul's music gives me courage and joy every day, maybe the same will be the case for you.
I know Paul continues to live through your love for his music, and that love has always inspired him.
With my best feelings.

Irene Mauriat.

- Translated from promotional page at Universal Music in Japanese: Paul Mauriat
