Symphony No. 3 in G minor, Op 42
Composer: Albert Roussel
Performers: ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Philharmonic Orchestra
Conductor: Yan Pascal Tortelier
Albert Roussel brings together French and Germanic traditions in his energetic Third Symphony, which combines long, jazzy chords with sharp motifs to create a Symphony dense with colour, contrast and chaos.
His compositions were often inspired by far flung places experienced, before he dedicated himself to writing, on voyages with the Navy.
Fellow composer LutosΕawski found Rousselβs work truly enchanting and described him as βsort of a French Brahms of the 20th centuryβ.
