César Franck’s only symphony came at a time when the French music world was seeking to rival the great Austro-German tradition. The ‘darkness-to-light’ narrative of the Symphony in D minor owes a debt to Beethoven and there is a unique power within its distinctive themes, innovative cyclic form and general gravitas. Franck’s student Ernest Chausson was no doubt inspired by his teacher’s thematic metamorphoses, but the anguished influence of Wagner is also ever present. The published score of the Symphony in B flat major includes many errors which conductor Jean-Luc Tingaud has meticulously corrected after careful study of Chausson’s autograph manuscripts. Key Features César Franck’s Symphony in D minor is rightly considered one of the greatest French orchestral works of the late 19th century but, surprisingly, it has rarely if ever been coupled with his pupil Chausson’s Symphony in B flat major . For this work, conductor Jean- Luc Tingaud has compared original manuscripts with the published edition and has corrected numerous errors. These include significant discrepancies in tempo relationships and other major mistakes in the published score, and the results will be of interest to scholars and record collectors alike.
