DUKAS: SYMPHONY IN C MAJOR - FAURÉ: PELLÉAS ET MÉLISANDE
Maestro Foster is of the opinion that his recording with the «Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo» of Paul Dukas’ Symphony in C Major and Gabriel Fauré’s Pelléas and Mélisande (Claves CD 50-9102) is one of his very best (and he has won a number of international awards for other recordings, including the Grand Prix International du Disque de l’Académie Charles Cros). Composer Paul Dukas cultivated craftsmanship to the highest degree and his orchestration has been widely admired and imitated. Gabriel Fauré wrote Pelléas and Mélisande as incidental music for the stage work at London’s Prince of Wales Theatre. Both compositions are beautiful examples of transcendental French orchestral music.
