The Symphonic Recordings
A monumental seventeen-disc conductor's portrait: French maestro Georges Prêtre leading an extraordinary range of European classical composers. From late Romantic France—Saint-Saëns, Landowski, d'Indy, Milhaud, Roussel—to the Romantic giants Dvořák and Tchaikovsky, and into twentieth-century modernism with Shostakovich. Prêtre, who conducted everything from Puccini to contemporary works throughout a legendary career, brings interpretive authority and elegant clarity to this repertoire. These symphonic recordings showcase his gift for lyrical phrasing and structural clarity. The set spans multiple musical eras and sensibilities, united by Prêtre's refined sensibility. An ambitious collection for classical listeners exploring the symphonic tradition through one conductor's sophisticated vision.
