Diethelm, Haug, Gmünder, Perler, Romer, Rushton - Florent Schmitt - Mélodies (2020) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

Rarely heard on disc, the songs of Florent Schmitt receive fresh exposure in this significant new survey of these neglected works including a number of world premiere recordings.

The qualities that appeal in many of Schmitt's larger works are found in abundance in this selection that spans his entire creative life: his music’s gorgeous sensuality, biting wit, laconic charm, and unleashed savagery.

Pianists Fabienne Romer and Edward Rushton along with an outstanding lineup of soloists, explore this rich seam of complex compositional techniques, revealing a composer of extraordinary individuality along with a fascinating affinity with the darker side of human existence.
