Notes
D’INDY: ORCHESTRAL WORKS, VOL. 2
Rumon Gamba conducts the Iceland Symphony Orchestra in Volume 2 of our survey of the orchestral music of d’Indy. The Orchestra was excited to earn a nomination for a Grammy Award for the first volume in this series, released last year. Gramophone commented, ‘superbly realised by the excellent Iceland Symphony Orchestra under Rumon Gamba and the state-of-the-art Chandos recording, definitely a key record of d’Indy’s orchestral output’. Volume 2 offers Symphony No. 2, a large-scale romantic work in four movements, which d’Indy dedicated to his friend Paul Dukas; a suite of three orchestral movements from the incidental music for a now long forgotten play by André Alexandre, Karadec, and finally the Tableaux de voyage, orchestrations of six movements from a suite for solo piano, inspired by walking holidays in the Black Forest and Tyrol, and written after a trip that d’Indy made to Bayreuth in 1888 to hear Wagner’s Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg and Parsifal.

Reviews
Its performance here , well-controlled but malleable in phrasing and pace, is one of ravishing colour, capitalising on the music’s fluid, succulent harmony and glowing orchestral palette.
The Telegraph
In the new Chandos recording Rumon Gamba and the Iceland symphony Orchestra capture d’Indy’s abstract sonic landscape very well, achieving a warmth considerably more Mediterranean than the climate of Reykjavik. Gamba has a sure sense of how to treat the work’s characteristic sound, in which d’Indy maintains the definition of individual instruments or orchestral groups (such as threatening brass) while combining them with an integrated, rounded blend, which the recorded acoustic fully conveys.
International Record Review
As before, the playing of the Iceland SO combines commendable polish and contagious dedication, and Chandos’s sound has both tangible presence and enticing glow. What a very good CD this is; bring on the next instalment.
