About
This recording marks the beginning of the collaboration between the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra and its new music director, the French conductor Alain Altinoglu, who conducts the leading European and American orchestras and has made a reputation for himself in every repertory – not forgetting opera at Salzburg, Bayreuth, and La Monnaie in Brussels, where he is music director. Their first disc pays tribute to a composer whose bicentenary is celebrated in 2022, César Franck, with the famous Symphony in D minor and two less well-known works, presented in new editions: the symphonic poem Le Chasseur maudit (1882) and the large-scale symphonic interlude from the oratorio Rédemption, composed in 1872 after the Paris Commune, performed here in its first version, long considered lost.

Reviews
International Classical Music Award 2024 Nomination in the Symphonic category
“… A worthy release all around, then, with good notes and fine sonics.”
“… Mr Altinoglu’s approach to the Franck symphony is a relatively direct one … this is a performance that does not sound over-hurried… Rather, it is generally brisk, tightly constructed and consistently focused… After this auspicious debut release, I will certainly look forward to hearing more from Mr Altinoglu and his Frankfurt orchestra…”
“…All the performances are sober, well-paced and never overblown, with textures as transparent as the scoring allows them to be.”
