Elsa Barraine: Symphonies Nos. 1 & 2, Song-Koi, Les Tziganes

Description

The Orchestre national de France, conducted by Cristian Macelaru, devotes an album to the composer Elsa Barraine, a major figure in 20th-century French music. A student of Paul Dukas and winner of the Prix de Rome at age 19, Elsa Barraine led a career that was both artistic and public, marked by her involvement in the Resistance. This new recording brings together four of her orchestral works, Symphonies No. 1 and No. 2, Song-Koï (Le Fleuve rouge) and Les Tziganes, which demonstrate her masterful writing, her expressiveness, and her deep sensitivity to the upheavals of her time.
