In France at that time, influenced by literature, themes of horror and the supernatural—such as ghosts, demons, spirits, and witches—flourished, replacing the magical elements found in traditional opera. This album features works that condense an eerie atmosphere and dramatic developments through unique orchestration, including Gounod’s Overture to *La Nonne sanglante*, Guiraud’s “Fantastic Hunt,” Caro’s “March of the Chimera,” and Schmidt’s “Haunted House.” In collaboration with the French Romantic Music Center (Palazzetto BruZane), this recording places special emphasis on the works of female composers who have been overlooked by history, featuring the Prelude from Augusta Olmes’s *Hero and Leander* and the Prelude from Marie Jaël’s *Océane* (believed to be the edition edited by Sébastien Trestel for the opening of Part 1)—both of which are world premiere recordings on this album. Each piece is truly a delight to listen to, and while it is a great pity that they were nearly forgotten, swept away by the tides of history, the significance of their inclusion here is immense. Conducted by Pierre Dumousso, who is highly popular during his tours in Japan, and performed by the Bordeaux-Aquitaine National Orchestra—whose meticulous and insightful interpretation highlights the works’ distinctive, richly colored orchestration while creating a sound full of tension—this recording masterfully revives their unsettling beauty for the modern listener.\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alpha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53696774897953,"sku":"4589538835507","price":205.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4589538835507.jpg?v=1791538428","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-dk\/products\/4589538835507","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
