Franck: Symphonie; D'Indy: Symphonie sur un chant montagnard français
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Gathered here are two masterpieces of late 19th-century French orchestral music. Cesar Franck's Symphony in D minor (1888) is his only symphony. Drawing its lineage from later Beethoven and Schumann, it's very cohesive and its themes are quite distinct, remaining quite popular. Vincent d'Indy's Symphonie su un chant montagnard francais (1886) is a very efficient fusion of a symphony with a piano concerto. The themes are supple yet smoothly integrated into a three-movement tapestry that has also never seen its popularity fade. Many versions of these exist on disc, but Charles Dutoit seems to have a better feel than most. --Paul Cook

If you can find it, the best modern recordings!.......2004-06-19
Although the Monteux and Barenboim hold special places in my heart for the Franck Symphony, Dutoit's is my favorite modern version. I think it is out of print now. The D'Indy is head and shoulders above many versions of this work, although Nicole Henriot-Schweitzer's recording with Munch is also wonderful. This symphony should be much more well known, as well as other works by D'Indy. Thibaudet plays the difficult piano part with much panache. This is not a piano concerto, but a definite symphony with piano solo. If you find this used, snatch it up!
