Pierné | Piano Concerto · Ramuntcho Suites · Marche Des Petits Soldats

“This attractive disc would make an ideal introduction to the charms of Pierné's music...The revelatory heart, though, is the music from Ramuntcho...Inspired by the Basque setting, there is plenty of colour and vigour.” -- BBC Music Magazine ****

F.X. Richter | Six Grandes Symphonies Nos.7-12

The symphonies are actually richer harmonically than the works of many of his contemporaries, such as Johann Stamitz. They are quite typical of very early symphonies. Four are in three movements, and two are in four. They tend to have a driving intensity in the quick movements and richly expressive harmonies in the slow movements.
