 Les Deux Pigeons (complete ballet); Isoline (excerpts); Herold: La Fille mal gardee (excerpts). Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra/John Lanchbery, etc. [2 CD set.]
Author: Messager, Andre Published: 2004 A welcome reissue, at a very reasonable price, of recordings mostly from the 1980s, still sounding very well. The Fille mal gardée excerpts are played by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra under Barry Wordsworth; Isoline by the Orchestre de Paris under Jean-Pierre Jacquillat; and John Lanchbery conducts the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra in his own arrangement (for Sir Frederick Ashton's version of the ballet) of Two Pigeons. |
