Timpani’s exploration of neglected music by French composers continues to open up some real pearls. This sequel to the previous Vincent d'Indy selection played by the Luxembourg Philharmonic uses soloists from the same orchestra with François Kerdoncuff at the piano. A lovely rarely performed programme which covers a long period of the composer's artistic life and bears the characteristics of a master -- -- solid construction, melodic invention, beautiful and vivid writing which sets colour and national pride in charming relief.
