BBC National Orchestra of Wales
Hyperion CDA67599
Release date: May 2007

“Thierry Fischer is a committed advocate of this often mesmerizing score, and the BBCNOW rises enthusiastically to its challenges, sinister at first, glitzy in the ‘Dance of Pearls’, and packing a punch at the end.” BBC Music Magazine ****

“Thierry Fischer’s no-holds-barred approach brings Schmitt’s Psalm and Salomé to vivid life … terrific stuff” Classic FM Magazine

“Whether mysterious or furious, Schmitt’s command of orchestral magnificence and colour is masterly, as is his ability to characterise through melody and sound. These three works enjoy a resounding and sensitive response from Thierry Fischer and his BBC Welsh forces in music that will surely find popularity through this release … Resplendent in performance and recording quality” International Record Review
