The story of Brussels Philharmonic is a very remarkable one.As the former orchestra of the Belgian, and later the Flemish radio, this orchestra managed not only to survive independently, but also to build a successful national and international career in the heart of Europe.This CD is the second to appear under the label Brussels Philharmonic recordings, conducted by chief conductor Michel Tabachnik. The first release, La Mer – Debussy, received international acclaim.In the coming years the orchestra and Michel Tabachnik will lead you further through the symphonic repertoire by means of this series of high end recordings and bold interpretations.

With their first CD produced by their own music label, Brussels Philharmonic – the Orchestra of Flanders will also be releasing their first ever CD recorded under the direction of their famous chief conductor Michel Tabachnik. Since 2008, they have worked together on a vast repertoire that demonstrates  an amazing variety of sounds.

The waves of La Mer, the warm glowing of Prélude à l’après-midi d’un Faune and the almost pictorial beauty of Debussy’s Nocturnes perfectly showcase the orchestra’s savoir-faire when it comes to highlighting the French composer’s musical nuances. This is a true jewel that should be part of every CD collection!
