About

A first recording for Debussy's First Orchestral Suite: little is known about the period surrounding its composition and the orchestral score was lost until 2008. It was missing the third movement, although it exists in a reduced version for piano four hands. Philippe Manoury has now completed the orchestration, at the request of the Cité de la musique in Paris.

Founded in 2003 by the conductor François-Xavier Roth, Les Siècles is a period-instrument orchestra with a huge collection of instruments from all eras at its disposal, and a repertoire to match. Roth and his players have already recorded Berlioz, Saint-Saëns, Chabrier, Stravinsky and Dubois with some spectacular results and reviews. Roth has also meticulously recreated the style of playing as taught at the Paris Conservatoire.
