About Roussel: Symphony No. 2 / Pour Une Fête De
Review Stephane Denève, music director of the Scottish ensemble, and a regular guest with the Toronto Symphony, conjures magic with his baton. Roussel often sounds like he's trying so hard to write "serious" music, but, the more you listen the more you appreciate his art of sonic metamorphosis - be it in imperceptible modulations, or handing over melodic lines from one group of instruments to another. The disc gets two extras, including the snappy, modernist Suite in F from 1926. Top track: The "Gigue" from the Suite in F brings together Baroque form with a modernist sensibility. -- Toronto Star, John Terauds, May 2008 Product Description A perennial outsider in French music, Albert Roussel was the tutor of a whole generation of composers, including such diverse figures as Eric Satie and Edgard Varese.
