Info for Air (Schittenhelm, Debussy)

The Royal Scottish National Orchestra joins Ukrainian pianist Svetlana Andreeva, conducted by Sergey Neller, to record works by French composer Christian Schittenhelm.

The author of numerous musicals performed throughout France and Europe, Christian Schittenhelm is also the creator of a rich symphonic and concerto output.

The lush sonorities of Air, his fourth piano concerto, and his symphonic poem Dawn, to which the musicians of the RSNO lend their sumptuous colour, meet here with Debussy’s Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune, which completes this triptych.
