Alas ! in France Albert Roussel's music is neglected, little played. Yet, this artist was one of the most accomplished, varied, charmingly delicate and subtle in the French musical repertoire of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Shame on the French !
it's this type of national composer of high quality, who are well known in their country, but not known out of their country. Like Suk in Czechia, Casella in Italy, Bax in England, Turina in Spain, Kilpinen in Finland, Vladigerov in Bulgaria and so on
Un grand bravo pour tout le monde! Aux instrumentistes d'abord qui ont parfaitement compris l'esprit faunesque et bucolique de cette musique et jouent chacun sa partie avec une maîtrise stupéfiante; à l'ingénieur, ensuite, qui a su équilibrer sa prise de son de manière à ce que l'on entende toute la complexité et la subtilité du contrepoint de Roussel et à celui qui, enfin, a réussi une synchronisation entre la vue de la partition et le déroulement de la musique. Cela permet de comprendre les musicologues qui disent que Roussel écrit une musique "sans basse" . Sans basse harmonique, oui, peut-être, mais non sans génie! www.musique-europeenne.com
Very very beautiful!!!!!! 💘😍🏩💌💖
Absolutely fantastic!!!! 💘😍🏩💌💖
Looking at the score proofs that this "sérénade", in spite of its modest title, is a masterwork in terms of counterpoint in the widest meaning. .
Chef-d'oeuvre absolument. Merci infiniment. ❤
This really is a masterful work of music. Underappreciated for sure.

a nearly unknown composer enchants us with a expressive and coulourful composition

The third movement speaks to me in so many ways. 🙄

Very much Gamelan influence
Oh wow you're right. Was it Debussy that also took inspiration from gamelan? Very cool
I sampled a few bars of this piece, transposing them into Bee Major for a mashup/remix: ua-cam.com/video/-DQgZVV-Dc0/v-deo.html
