What's it like to play with the piano luthéal, one of the rarest instruments in the world? Violinist Sarah Nemtanu is one of the few performers who has had the chance. Leader of the Orchestre nationale de France, Nemtanu takes us through Ravel's ambitious use of timbre to evoke the spirit of folk music in his virtuosic "Tzigane." Filmed on location in the Musée de la Musique, Cité de la Musique, Paris.
