This digitally recorded CD captures the powerful symphonic prelude inspired by Tolstoy and the intricate vocal and orchestral textures of Roussel's compositions. Recorded in Toulouse in 1986, the album offers a rich listening experience of French classical music, brought alive by distinguished performers and a chorus master Antxon Ayestaran. The EMI label guarantees superior sound quality and collector appeal, with the original 1987 pressing showcasing authentic artwork and detailed liner notes. A must-have for classical music enthusiasts and collectors of orchestral vocal works.
