Jean Françaix: Music for String Orchestra
Catalogue Number: TOCC0162
Symphonie d’Archets
Sir Georg Solti Chamber Orchestra, Budapest, chamber orchestra Jean Françaix (1912–97) has long enjoyed a reputation as one of the happier composers, his Gallic charm and breezy good humour obscuring the superb craftsmanship of his writing. Françaix once observed that ‘I live in exile in my own country and am nourished from abroad’ – Plus ça change, he then might have thought, with this CD presenting an Hungarian ensemble led by a Canadian conductor on a British label, with two first recordings and a rare hearing for one of his more substantial scores.
