About

CPO returns yet another unjustly-neglected composer to the musical spotlight - this time it is the turn of the French composer Simon Le Duc the Elder. Although Le Duc died tragically young at the tender age of thirty five, amongst his contemporaries he stood out as a highly talented individual. He was also famous during his lifetime as an outstanding violinist.
 
His compact oeuvre more than suffices to indicate a composer of above average capabilities and, more importantly, of absolute originality. In contrast to the uncompromising and austere language of his friend Franz Ignaz Beck, Le Duc’s symphonies and orchestral trios tend towards sensibility and elegance, and have a strong emotional appeal.
 
Here their melodic beauty and expressive depth are rendered audible by the top early music ensemble La Stagione Frankfurt under its conductor Michael Schneider.
