'As with his recording of No. 2, Eschenbach's accounts are highly evocative and beautifully phrased. (...) in Le poème de la forêt (...) he finds the poetry of this quietly sumptuous score. (...) What makes this newcomer recommendable is the superb playing and Ondine's first-rate sound'

(Gramophone)



This Albert Roussel disc couples his First and Fourth Symphonies. It is the second volume in a cycle of three releases featuring the four symphonies and two ballets by the French composer. Performed by the Orchestre de Paris and its music director Christoph Eschenbach, the Fourth Symphony, written in 1934, is considered the crowning achievement of Roussel's career. The First Symphony was completed in 1906 and consists of four movements tracing the four seasons with their descriptive titles.



The booklet contains liner notes written by Damien Top from the Centre International Albert-Roussel in France, as well as rare photographs.
