+Leopold Cat Yes it is fantastic. Why it isn't more well-known? Because people can't be bothered to listen to anything French that isn't written by Ravel, Fauré, etc. If this was written by Ravel, it would have been quite popular I suspect.
Five years late, but the reason Koechlin is mostly unplayed is because he never never promoted his music and was more known as a great teacher. He also did orchestrations for major composers (Fauré, Debussy)
Gorgeous music by this composer seemingly doomed to unjust neglect. Happily this 2-CD set is quite easy to find. Thanks again for incredibly well-informed notes.
@@toothlesstoe try listening to Mahler's Symphony #8 at a concert hall or with earphones, or try Das Lied von der Erde and perhaps you will get some feeling back. Cheers!
@@nicholas72611 I thought 1 & 9 were too advanced for someone who "never felt anything listening to Mahler." The 8th is the most "feeling" of his symphonies. i don't think you can walk out of that concert and be the same person that walked out. However, À Chacun Son Goût.
@@nicholas72611 I think 5 and 6 are probably the most accessible (although 6's finale is rather long). Personally I'd never recommend 1, but it is probably also up there for accessibility.
Très belle incarnation poétique...Merci encore.
Fantastique musique...Merci. J'ai pu rêver.
Thank you for beautiful music.Dzień dobry 🧡🧡🧡
The Berceuse an absolutely magical piece. Fantastic orchestration. Why isn't it more widely known? Thank you so much for the upload with the score.

I've been searching for this! Glad I can finally listen to it now! Excellent upload.
superbe ! merci !
It gives the feelings you have listening to Mahler. Wow!
I've never felt anything when listening to Mahler, so I can't relate to your sentiment.

@@eottoe2001 Of all the Mahler you choose 8!!? 9 and 1 are his most interesting. Specifically the first movement of 9.

The third for Marlowe
The 1st for rhythm
Too bad the singer in the 3rd piece doesn’t speak french… Otherwise, really great piece !
