Ernest Chausson

[Keraulophone]

Once borrowed his opera Le Roi Arthus from Ivan March's Squires Gate LPRL (RIP)... a post-Wagnerian ramble, but worth a listen.

As I mentioned in my forlorn thread about Frederick Stock, he made a very interesting recording of the symphony in the last year of his life, well worth seeking out. Out of copyright in the EU - PM me if you have a problem acquiring it from the link given.

Wots that one that Chausson did that was on the Channel 4 testcard? I like that one.

I shall look out for Le Roi Arthus . No doubt one of those operas that is not staged as it would be too expensive and not enough bums on seats .
