Orchestre National D'ile-De-France & Marie Perbost & Lucile Richardot & Case Scaglione - Rita Strohl Volume 3: Musique Orchestrale CD

“She gave language to the most sublime abstractions, clad water and fire in orchestral flesh, and suggested through sound the motions of atoms and sap.” Carlos Larronde, “Rita Strohl, a cosmic musician” (Le Soir, March 6, 1931). With Les Cygnes (The Swans) and the Symphonie de la Forêt (Forest Symphony), Rita Strohl sought a form of communion with nature, a decisive turning point towards a musical style that became increasingly symbolist and spiritual, which subsequently led her to compose grand lyrical and mystical works such as Yajnavalkya.
