| General note | One of the great exponents of the extroverted, Dionysiac strain in French music, Florent Schmitt's influences included the symphonic poems of Richard Strauss and the Russian nationalist composers. Added to his ear for pungent dissonances and assured technique of orchestration, the result is hugely opulent and extravagant music of fertile and thrilling invention. |
