This is Volume 5 in our series dedicated to the orchestral works of Vincent d'Indy, nicknamed 'The Samson of Music' by Fauré, for his work as a composer, conductor, and teacher. His style was essentially eclectic, strongly influenced by Beethoven and Wagner, into which he frequently incorporated folk melodies.
"d'Indy is his own man, conjuring up fragrant atmosphere from his mountain theme and generating a good deal of healthy vigour in the finale. All this is potently communicated by the orchestral playing and by Louis Lortie's scintillating fluency in the piano obbligato." (Gramophone)
"Lortie is so sensitively attuned to a piano part whose sheer dexterity is partly offset only by its frequent self-effacement...Gamba yields very little to Andre Cluytens in terms of his identity with a work that is well deserving of revival." (International Record Review)
