This new album of the Basel Chamber Orchestra shows references between French and Russian music at the end of the 19th century. Dmitry Smirnov interprets the 1st and 4th violin concertos by Édouard Lalo. The latter is called “Concerto russe” because it contains songs from the folk song collection op. 24 by Rimsky-Korssakoff. Smirnov has now arranged these songs himself for chamber orchestra or for violin and orchestra. Presented in this context, the songs add an extremely interesting new note to the musical bridge-building. Musical direction: Heinz Holliger.
