| | Description: | Lalo considered himself to be first and foremost
an op era composer, even though Le Roi dâ??Ys was
his only opera to be performed in his lifetime. He
is now best known for his symphonic and chamber
music, largely because of the highly political
musical establishment in France in his time. The
Overture to the opera (which opens this album) is
now the best-known music from the piece, which
proved a considerable success in France. His ballet
Namouna was commissioned by the Paris Opéra
and, remarkably, was completed in just four
months following extensive delays in agreeing the
subject â?? part of the tales of Casanova. After a
successful run of fifteen performances, Lalo
parcelled the music up into three â??rhapsodiesâ?? for
orchestral performance. The first two of these
were published as Suites Nos 1 and 2. The third
was not published, but the â??Valse de le Cigaretteâ??
was later issued separately. Laloâ??s only surviving
Symphony was completed in 1886, but somewhat
overshadowed by Saint-Saënsâ??s Organ Symphony
(1886) and Franckâ??s Symphony in D minor (1888),
but it is a strong work that showcases Laloâ??s
melodic gift and forward-looking harmonic
palette. - Lalo considered himself to be first and foremost an opera composer, even though Le Roi d'Ys was his only opera to be performed in his lifetime.
