Dukas: La Péri; Chabrier: Suite Pastorale
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Dukas (1865-1935) was not a prolific composer and most of what he wrote fades against his famous Sorcerer's Apprentice. Perhaps of greater interest here is the inclusion by Maestro Tortelier of the fanfare from La Peri and La Peri itself, which was Dukas's last major orchestral composition in 1912. It shows Dukas's strong affinity for the impressionistic tone poem, which is essentially what we have here with the music of Chabrier. His famous España is coupled here with the melancholy and wistful Suite pastorale, a work we are less familiar with. A top-notch Chandos release. --Paul Cook
