This is a recording of French conductor Paul Paray leading the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. Lalo's masterpiece, the Spanish Symphony, is a gorgeous combination of legendary violinists Leonid Kogan and Kirill Kondrashin, allowing you to fully enjoy the famous performances of Lalo's works from yesteryear.

Quartet Base is a long-lasting formation. For 18 years now, Sebastien Beaumont has been writing a music that relies on the trust set in between the musicians. Based on the inmost, this new repertoire releases a deep, tensed, but sometimes funny and mischievous proposition. Texts, melodies, climates and sound memories are so many materials to a narrative and expressionist music.

Pas de saison pour la valse. En 1929, soit dix ans avant d'instituer la tradition du 1er janvier dans la salle dorée du Musikverein, c'est au Festival de Salzbourg que Clemens Krauss prend l'habitude de diriger les Wiener Philharmoniker dans un programme entièrement consacré à la famille Strauss. De ces soirées estivales, aucune trace sonore. Mais des célébrations du jour de l'an fixées au disque, rien que de l'immortel. Plus de vingt ans après Le Beau Danube bleu royal de Szell, ses valses ont, elles aussi, le port princier. Qui d'autre lit les Feuilles du matin avec une telle distinction ? Si tout n'est qu'absolue clarté, superbement nuancé, rien ne paraît cassant, et encore moins fragile - écoutez l'énergique fouetté mis à l'Opus 263 de Josef. Seules rivalisent d'aristocratie les Roses du Sud selon Krips.

By temperament Roussel was predominantly a classicist. While his early work was strongly influenced by impressionism in music, he eventually arrived at a personal style which was more formal in design, with a strong rhythmic drive, and with a more distinct affinity for functional tonality than is found in the work of his more famous contemporaries Debussy, Ravel, Satie, and Stravinsky. Roussel's training at the Schola Cantorum, with its emphasis on rigorous academic models such as Palestrina and Bach, left its mark on his mature style, which is characterized by contrapuntal textures.
