"Editor's choices - November 2020: The Buffalo players sound terrific in Schmitt's two large-scale 'Orientalist' ballet suites, with a fabulously glossy proto-Hollywood sheen to the strings and some especially characterful playing from the cor anglais and trumpets; Falletta is mindful of both works' origins in dance, and achieves a lovely shimmering transparency in passages that could easily seem overblown. It's also great to hear the world premiere recording of the orchestral version of Musique sur l'eau, composed in 1898 and orchestrated fifteen years later, which has more than a whisper of Debussy's La mer about it".
