Symphony in D minor / Les Eolides

Album by César Franck & New York Philharmonic & Kurt Masur

Symphony in D minor and Les Éolides are orchestral works by César Franck, the former completed in 1888 and the latter composed in 1876. Both pieces exhibit Franck's characteristic use of chromatic harmony and cyclical thematic development, with the symphony representing his mature large-scale orchestral approach and the symphonic poem illustrating his earlier exploration of orchestral colour and programme-inspired form.
First released: 20th February 1992
