Laurence EquilbeyAbout
It follows their July 2021 album of Symphonies no.1 in C minor (first heard in 1845) and no.3 in G minor (premiered in 1849).
This set completes the cycle with Symphony no.2 in D major, op.35, and two overtures: Overture no.1 in E minor, op.23, and Overture no.2 in E flat major, op.24.
The world’s first complete recording of Louise Farrenc’s symphonic music on period instruments.
Farrenc’s compositions reflect different influences/heritages: touches of Mozart, an Italian-inspired virtuosity in the strings reminiscent of Vivaldi, a fluid and innovative harmonic language not unlike Schubert's risk-taking
“The score is so well written that it deserves a prominent place in the history of the early Romantic symphony … Equilbey and the Insula orchestra gave it a fleet, fiery performance. Their crusading spirit lived up to the day’s billing.” – The Financial Times after a London performance of Symphony no.3, marking International Women’s Day 2018
The symphony “was full of engaging inventions … It’s clearly a fine piece; all it needs now is to be heard, many times.” – The Daily Telegraph
