Symphony No. 3 in G minor, Op 42

Composer: Albert Roussel
Performers: 麻豆社 Philharmonic Orchestra
Conductor: Yan Pascal Tortelier

Albert Roussel brings together French and Germanic traditions in his energetic Third Symphony, which combines long, jazzy chords with sharp motifs to create a Symphony dense with colour, contrast and chaos.

His compositions were often inspired by far flung places experienced, before he dedicated himself to writing, on voyages with the Navy.

Fellow composer Lutos艂awski found Roussel鈥檚 work truly enchanting and described him as 鈥榮ort of a French Brahms of the 20th century鈥�.
