Composer:
Vincent d'Indy

Conductor:
Rumon Gamba

Background: Symphony No.2 is of particular interest as there have been very few recordings of this major work. Completed in 1903, the work is inspired by d'Indy's mentor, Cesar Franck and is highly ambitious in its philosophical scope. This is particularly notable in the symbolic importance of cyclic ideas recurring between movements and the classical values of formal structure and tonal harmony. The result is a large-scale romantic four-movement symphony dedicated to the memory of his friend Ernest Chausson.

Rumon Gamba and the Iceland Symphony Orchestra follow their Grammy-nominated volume 1 with three rarer orchestral works from Vincent d'Indy's legacy. The previous volume elicited such comments as '…superbly realised by the excellent Iceland Symphony Orchestra under Rumon Gamba and the state-of-the-art Chandos recording; definitely a key record of d'Indy's orchestra output.' Gramophone.
