Review

“A fusion of Indian classical and Chinese music and the sounds from the gamelan emerge. It is definitely not for the faint hearted or for those classical conservatives”. Sharmin Varghese, Kuala Lumpur Review “The rhythms and surprises, never where you expect them, took me on a great voyage! Casteels’ music truly manages to integrate the Western and Oriental spirit. Who can still make us dream nowadays?”.

Marie-France Dumolié, Paris
