The prodigious Lionel Bringuier (boasting "good instincts [...] bolstered by good taste plus a strong technique": Financial Times), just 24 in this delightful 2010 recording, conducts the BBC Orchestra in a generous program that opens with Berlioz's lighthearted, cheeky Le Corsaire Overture, continues with Albert Roussel's Symphony No. 3 brimming with adventure, perhaps the fruit of the composer's long experience as a sailor across the Atlantic and in Southeast Asia - and closes with the enchanting impressionism of Ravel's Daphnis et Chloe. Don't miss this uniquely crafted concert guaranteed to stir the imagination!
