César Franck (1822-1890):

1 Les Éolides

2 Les Djinns

3 Rédemption

4 Variations Symphoniques

5 Le Chausseur maudit

Released for this bicentennial year of Cesar Franck's birth (1822-2022), this recording of the most popular of Franck's symphonic poems, including Les Djinns and the Symphonic Variations that feature piano, has taken on an additional significance and poignancy with the outbreak of war in the orchestra's homeland only a few months after these sessions were completed. As a result, Guild will be making a donation to the Disasters Emergency Committee's Ukraine Appeal for every CD sold.
