About

All three works in this collection were either composed or premiered during 1876, a momentous year that saw the inauguration of the Bayreuth Festival, the premiere of Ibsen’s Peer Gynt, the publication of Mark Twain’s Adventures of Tom Sawyer, the USA centenary celebrations and Alexander Graham Bell’s transmission of music by telephone.

Among many works premiered in 1876 were Delibes’ ballet Sylvia and Lalo’s overture to Le Roi d’Ys. Tchaikovsky spent much of 1876 composing Swan Lake, which thanks to Natalie Portman et al is more in the public eye than ever before.

These pieces are conducted by acclaimed masters of their craft: Jean Morel (Tchaikovsky), Pierre Dervaux (Delibes) and Jean Fournet (Lalo).
