The Scottish Chamber Orchestra captures the spirit of Paris between the wars in these three works - the jazz age was in full swing, but wistful nostalgia was also in the air. Faure and Stravinsky look back to the 18th century and offer very different interpretations of the Commedia dell'Arte.
Faure is all moonlit enchantment, while Stravinsky goes for laughs, and isn't above blowing a raspberry to get them. Ravel's concerto simply glitters: a virtuosic tour de force. All in all, a fine entertainment from start to finish. -- www.horsecross.co.uk
