Musique Français
Rare recordings of great French music performed by some of the great conductors of the last Century.
Auber's Fra Diavolo Overture by Hermann Scherchen and the Vienna State Opera Orchestra
Excerpts from Gounod's Faust by Alexander Gibson conducting the Royal Opera House Orchestra, Covent Garden
The Swan,The Elephant, Fossils and Aquarium from Saint Saens The Carnival of the Animals by Hermann Scherchen and the Vienna State Opera Orchestra
Samson et Dalila, Op. 47: Danse de Pretresses de Dagon from Saint-Saëns by Sir Thomas Beecham and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
Bacchus et Ariane, Op. 43: Suite no 2 by Jean Martinon and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra
"But it is Jean Martinon's Chicago Symphony that steals the berries, the recording taken from RCA 4-track tape. Rarely do the angular, modal harmonies from Roussel receive such fervent treatment, the sound only a breath away from the purple prose of Richard Strauss and Salome. I would recommend this pungent reading beyond those of Charles Munch, and that concedes much!"
