Florent Schmitt: Psaume 47, La Tragédie de Salomé & Le Palais hanté
Susan Bullock (soprano)
São Paulo Symphony Orchestra and Choir, Yan Pascal Tortelier

This collection opens splendidly with a spankingly good performance of the Overture to Leroi d'Ys, with its melodrama, brassy splashes and a rather memorable swooning cello solo. It has all... — More…
