Rumon GambaAbout
Today, the music of d’Indy is sadly neglected, which is why Chandos and the Iceland Symphony Orchestra have decided to embark upon a series devoted to his orchestral works with conductor Rumon Gamba.
With a style essentially eclectic and strongly influenced above all by Beethoven and Wagner, d’Indy particularly excelled in orchestral composition. He drew particular inspiration from his native region in southern France, and formed a body of post-romantic works richly orchestrated, often inflected with folk-like melodies and employing Franck’s well-known ‘cyclic method’.
The series begins with a programme of in part rarely performed works, including the outstanding Jour d’été à la montagne, Op.61, a work of d’Indy’s full maturity, composed in 1905. This cyclic three-part evocation of a day in the Ardèche mountains is full of impressionistic details and orchestral nature painting, partly influenced by Debussy but essentially classical in tonal structures. It is complemented by the early La Forêt enchantée, Op.8 and largely contemporaneous Souvenirs, Op.62, which d’Indy composed as a memorial to his late wife.
