About

Composer, conductor and organist Gabriel Pierné wrote in a wide variety of genres, from operas to pieces for solo piano. His orchestral music for the stage shows the utmost refinement and clarity as well as wit and charm in the finest French tradition. His colourful and evocative score for Ramuntcho is rich in Basque flavour with zortzico dance rhythms and village dances, all beautifully textured. Set in the 18th century, the ballet Cydalise et le Chèvre-pied reveals the full range of his inventive scoring, which remains chamber music-like in its finesse.

Darrell Ang is a distinguished Naxos conductor with many accolades for his albums. His debut album of Zhou Long and Chen Yi’s Symphony ‘Humen 1839’ (8570611) received a Grammy nomination in 2016.

His conducting of Lalo’s Symphonie espagnole (8573067) produced ‘an inspired album in every way’ (Fanfare), and his recording of Henri Dutilleux’s Symphony no.2 (8573596) was a MusicWeb International ‘Recording of the Year’, with the comment ‘Darrell Ang and Orchestre National de Lille in some of the most exciting and vibrant accounts this music has yet received.’
