"Jean Fournet's account has a charm that is essential in this repertoire, and the Netherlands Radio Orchestra plays most sensitively throughout. They are also very well recorded" Penguin Guide (of Fauré)

"Jean Fournet's new account...Is arguably the finest now on the market. Not only is it very well shaped, but the texture in the voluptuous slow movement is heard in excellent focus. Fournet paces all three movements well and gets sensitive results from his players" Penguin Guide (of Chausson)

Jean Fournet and the Radio Philharmonic Orchestra of the Netherlands give idiomatic performances of two cornerstones of the French orchestral repertoire. They are coupled with three works by Arthur Honegger. Critically acclaimed performances.

Tracks:

Chausson:
Symphony in B flat major, Op. 20

Fauré:
Pelléas et Mélisande, Op. 80 (suite)

Honegger:
Movement symphonique No. 2 'Rugby'
Movement symphonique No. 1 'Pacific 231'
Pastorale d'été
