performed by Charles Rosen (piano), Gaby Casadesus (piano), Jean-Claude Casadesus (percussion), Jean-Pierre Drouet (percussion), Robert Casadesus (piano), Philadelphia Orchestra, Eugene Ormandy (conductor)
composed by Béla Bartók

performed by Ewa Podles (mezzo-soprano), Latvian State Choir (choir, chorus), Orchestre National de Lille-Région Nord - Pas-de Calais, Jean-Claude Casadesus (conductor)
composed by Sergey Prokofiev

Prokofiev was a true cosmopolitan; during parts of his somewhat nomadic existence the Russian composer spent time in the United States, France, and Germany. Fitting, then, that the cast featured on this new Naxos release features Polish contralto Ewa Podles, the Latvian State Choir, and the Orchestre National de Lille, all under the direction of ...

Joseph Canteloube: Chants d'Auvergne more music like this

performed by Veronique Gens (soprano), Orchestre National de Lille, Jean-Claude Casadesus (conductor)
composed by Joseph Marie Canteloube

Once you accept the fundamental premise -- Joseph Canteloube's Chants d'Auvergne are gussied-up folk songs -- they become the cutest little things in the world. Of course, not everybody can accept the premise since it involves accepting, first, that the folk song is a legitimate vehicle for high culture, and second, that a little sentimentality ...

composed by Hector Berlioz

From 1827 to 1830, Hector Berlioz sought the prestigious Prix de Rome and composed a cantata for each year's competition. As might be expected, his originality stood in the way of immediate success, and the first three efforts were deemed inadequate or unperformable. In his fourth attempt, Berlioz finally acquiesced to most of the constraints ...
