Rsno/Tingaud - Jules Massenet: Visions (Symphonic Poem), Brumaire, Ph�dre (Overtures), Espada (Suite), Les �rinnyes (Incidental Music)

Jules Massenet is famous for his series of 27 operas that include Manon and Werther, but he also wrote a significant portfolio of orchestral music which include ballets, orchestral suites and incidental music. The works presented here show his versatility and lyricism and include the one-act ballet Espada, saturated in Iberian colour and beguiling rhythms, as well as Les �rinnyes (�The Furies�) with a vivid sequence of contrasting themes. Modelled after Liszt, Visions is a po�me-symphonique of both ethereal and dramatic power.
