Louis Fremaux - Massenet: Le Cid-Ballet Music, Scenes Pittoresques - Speakers Corner LP

180 Gram Vinyl, Speakers Corner Audiophile Reissue

Once you have listened to these enchanting miniatures, you will agree that Jules Massenet belongs in every musical guide. The ballet suite to the opera Le Cid (1885) is a series of traditional Spanish dances, from the scintillating 'Castillane' to the robust 'Aragonaise' and joyous 'Navarraise'. Massenet's perfected art of orchestration shines again in the Scènes pittoresques, performed here by the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra under Louis Frémaux.
