Composer:
Jean Francaix

Conductor:
Thierry Fischer

Background: This CD of orchestral recordings featuring music by Jean Françaix perfectly encapsulates the world of this humorous, civilized and quintessentially French composer.

The ballet score Le roi nu, paraphrases the story (by Hans Christian Andersen) of the emperor who allows himself to be fooled into parading around the court totally naked. Les demoiselles de la nuit is an altogether more moody affair involving a beautiful young kitten in love with a (human) violinist who falls to his death cavorting on the rooftops.
