5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning Debut, 16 May 2007
By Bowmore (Scotland) - See all my reviews
I understand that this is the first commercial recording that Stephane Deneve has made with the orchestra of which he is Music Director. On the evidence of this disc I hope they make many more.

Deneve is clearly steeped in his compatriot's music. Not since Charles Munch has there been such an idiomatic reading of the symphony. The recording quality and orchestral playing are beyond reproach.

The complete ballet music for Bacchus et Ariadne is superbly done with wit and sparkle.

Do not hesitate to buy this disc. If you like Roussel you will not find better. If you have yet to discover him, this is an ideal introduction.

4.0 out of 5 stars Two of Roussel's Best Efforts in New Recordings, 13 Jul 2007
By J Scott Morrison (Middlebury VT, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
After many years of neglect by the record companies, Albert Roussel's orchestral music seems to be coming into its own. There are currently excellent low-price recordings of the Third Symphony -- his most popular; the one commissioned in 1930 for the 50th anniversary of the Boston Symphony, along with Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms -- by such artists as Cluytens/Colonne onEMI, Dutoit/Orchestre National de France on Apex/Warner, and Järvi/Detroit on Chandos Classics. His 'Bacchus et Ariane' ballet is slightly less well-represented, especially the complete score (arranged by Roussel into two suites that are simply Acts I & II), but there are competing versions by Järvi/Detroit and Yan Pascal Tortelier/BBC Philharmonic. What's more, most of these competing versions are also offered at budget price. So what's a person to do?

Well, as much as I like this new version by Stéphane Denève and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, I must cast my vote for the EMI which only costs a couple of dollars more (in the US) for 2 CDs containing the Symphonies Nos. 2, 3 and 4, as well as one of the Bacchus Suites, the Festin de l'Araignée, and the Sinfonietta. Granted, they are older recordings but they have been very nicely remastered and sound terrific. Further, the French orchestras led by Cluytens, Prêtre and Dervaux play gorgeously throughout. I imagine that Denève and RSNO (of which he has been the music director for a couple of years now) will record more of Roussel's orchestral output but the cash outlay will be significantly more for the amount of music presented. And as far as that's concerned, I thought the sound on this new recording was just a little cloudy and with the brass sometimes drowning the strings.
