Over to Switzerland this week for a concert recorded live just yesterday (December 7th) by the Lausanne Chamber Orchestra led by Conductor/Pianist Christian Zacharias. The Piano chores are taken over for this concert by Marc Pantillon who does a nice job with the Poulenc Aubade for 18 instruments and Piano. In addition to the Poulenc the concert starts off with the Prokofiev Symphony number 1 (Classical) and ends with the Bizet L'Arlesienne Suite.
As always, the concert is complete (I did cut out the half hour intermission) with the first half (Prokofiev and Poulenc) on the top player and the Bizet on the bottom player. For you note keepers, here's the rundown from Radio Suisse Romande:
