Remarks:
D'Indy was a contemporary of Debussy and Ravel, and a pupil of Cesar Franck. Faure described him as 'The Samson of Music' for his multifarious and generous-minded work as a composer, conductor, educator and propagandist who greatly strengthened French musical culture. Today the music of d'Indy is sadly neglected, which is why Chandos and the Iceland Symphony Orchestra have decided to embark upon a series devoted to his orchestral works with conductor Rumon Gamba. D'Indy drew particular inspiration from his native region in southern France, and formed a body of post-romantic works richly orchestrated, often inflected with folk-like melodies and employing Franck's well-known 'cyclic method'.Notes:
This album was nominated for the 2008 Grammy Award for "Best Orchestral Performance."Reviews
