Saint-Saens ’Parysatis’ - ’Airs de Ballet’ - Geoffrey Simon conducts

“Parysatis“ was a spectacular drama based on the life of the Queen of Ancient Persia. It was first performed in 1902 and featured Saint-Saens’s Incidental Music. From this, we hear the exotic ’Airs de Ballet’ played by the London Philharmonic conducted by Geoffrey Simon. (With acknowledgements to Cala Records.)
