Les Siècles, François Xavier Roth

The French conductor François-Xavier Roth was born in France in 1971 and studied at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique. In October 2000 he won joint first prize at the Donatella Flick Conducting Competition in London, following which he was appointed for two seasons assistant conductor with the London Symphony Orchestra. From 2000 to 2002 he was also assistant conductor with the Caen Orchestra. In 2003 François-Xavier Roth created the chamber orchestra Les Siècles (The Centuries), combining period and modern instruments, an orchestra which covers a vast repertoire from Baroque to contemporary music.

This recording was CD OF THE WEEK on Radio 3's CD Review on February 9th. " We all felt it was the clarity which stood out - both of the playing and the recording. Andrew [McGregor] described the Bizet symphony as having a "Mendelssohnian lightness".
