About

"Marius Constant (1925-2004) was born in Romania and began formal music education at the Royal Bucharest Conservatory at the age of 11, also being enrolled in the Lycée Français: he later moved to France where he developed his remarkable career. Best known in musical circles for his ballets, and by the general public for the Twilight Zone theme, he is truly one of the 20th century's most gifted and inspired composers, and one of the most cruelly neglected. His orchestral works here are inspired by nature and art and encompass beauty and emotional power in a unique contemporary style. The Riverside Symphony was founded in 1981 and comprises many of the best of New York's finest musicians. Acclaimed for its devoted championing of unfamiliar and new works, its annual concert series at Lincoln Center have brought much praise for their innovative programming. Olivier Charlier, soloist in 103 Regards dans l'eau, has been recognised internationally for his superlative playing; he has played with over 50 French orchestras as well as orchestras from around the world. This album was originally released by Riverside in 2014 but in the USA only. It includes a video with archival clips of the composer and discussions with the orchestra directors (formatted for computer playback)."
