Édouard Lalo is another of those composers who are known for a very small percentage of their works, while the vast majority remain forgotten. His Symphonie espagnole and, to some extent his Cello Concerto see the light of day whereas most of his works for stage or chamber music linger on the library shelves.

Gathered on this disc are both famous and less well known orchestral works, performed here by the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Kees Bakels, a team whose previous releases on BIS of Rimsky-Korsakov's music have received much praise for the interpretations "The commitment of the performers is just overwhelming" as well as for the recordings "a panoramic splendour unrivalled on disc".

"Merckel [1897-1969] is one of those French violinists...whose sterling musicianship remained broadly for home consumption. Of course he is closely associated with the native repertoire of which he was such a splendid exponent..." wrote Jonathan Woolf on Musicweb. Here are Merckel's best Saint-Saens and Lalo recordings in new digital transfers. Extremely rare.
