Synopsis

Album Description
EDITOR?S CHOICE in the April issue of GRAMOPHONE! La course de printemps (The Spring Running) comes from the series of "Jungle Book" tone poems, and is given a joyous reading from Holliger and his musicians. Le buisson ardent (The Burning Bush) is a two-part tone poem and includes a prominent part for Ondes Martenot and has nothing to do with the Bible. Rather, it's based on Romain Rolland's novel, Jean-Christophe--not that this matters particularly when listening to the music. Koechlin's music thrives on a curious mixture of the ancient (modally-tinged themes) and modern (free use of dissonance and advanced orchestral technique), and if this particular combination whets your appetite, you will find this disc very enjoyable.
