Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of Ernest Chausson with this captivating album, featuring a trio of his most celebrated works. The centerpiece is Chausson's sole symphony, a masterful composition that beautifully showcases his unique voice in the chamber music genre. The symphony's three movements, from the stirring "Lent - Allegro vivo" to the exhilarating "Animé - Très animé," are a testament to Chausson's ability to evoke a wide range of emotions through his music.
Complementing the symphony are two of Chausson's most evocative orchestral works: "Poème" and "Poème de l'amour et de la mer." These pieces, inspired by the sea and the complexities of love, offer a rich tapestry of sound and sentiment. "Poème de l'amour et de la mer" is particularly noteworthy, with its three movements—"La fleur des eaux," "Interlude," and "La mort de l'amour"—painting a vivid musical narrative.
