Orchestral Works Volume 4 - Le Martyre de Saint Sébastien / etc
Orchestre National de Lyon. Jun Markl
[ Naxos / CD ]
Release Date: Wednesday 20 October 2010
"Märkl is a master Debussyan, who captures the magical half-lights of these scores with a rare instinct for colour and texture." Classic FM Magazine, November 2010 *****
"Märkl refuses to settle for the familiar Symphonic Fragments [from Saint Sébastien], and includes additional numbers from the second and third acts in a performance that is austere and raunchy by turns...Its companion piece is the 1912 "danced legend" Khamma...The Orchestre de Lyon play it handsomely" The Guardian, 9th September 2010 ****
"While [Khamma is] well played here, it is overshadowed by the much more confident Martyrdom of St Sebastian, in which the music's sensuous colouring shows Debussy inspired, the orchestral playing echoing his finesse." The Telegraph, 25th September 2010 ****
"Played like this, with every phrase pulsating with life-enhancing radiance and choreographic intensity, these magical scores caress the senses as rarely before...Märkl is a master Debussyan, who captures the magical half-lights of these scores with a rare instinct for colour and texture." Classic FM Magazine, November 2010 *****
