Oeuvre: Suite pastorale

Young French performers impress in their Hallé debuts in an elegant Saint-Saëns cello concerto and Rachmaninov's stirring Symphonic Dances. 

A mainly French programme of Chabrier, Saint-Saëns and Franck drew mixed performances, but it was a memorable performance of the latter's Symphony in D minor that crowned the evening at Poole's Lighthouse. 

Das BRSO widmet sich unter der Leitung von Sir John Eliot Gardiner mit ihrem Programm dem Werk von Emmanuel Chabrier abseits seiner Orchesterrhapsodie España.
