At the age of 19, he won the Prix de Rome for his cantata *Édith*. From then on, while active as conductor of the Colonne Orchestra and organist at the Church of Sainte-Chloé, he composed works in many genres, including opera.\n\"Ramuncho,\" included on this album, is incidental music for a play that premiered in 1908. It bears the subtitle “Based on Basque Folk Songs,” and the suite includes pieces with strong folk elements, such as “Fandango” and “Basque Rhapsody.” The ballet music “Cidalis and the Shepherd God” is one of Pierné’s most representative works. It premiered at the Paris Opera in 1923 and was later rearranged as a concert suite. Set in the 18th century, the story blends ancient Greek modes with elements of Baroque parody, and its refined music stands out as a masterpiece even among neoclassical ballet works.\n\n[Darrell Ann]\nBorn in Singapore in 1979.
