Tenor Ian Bostridge joins Ludovic Morlot and the Seattle Symphony in an album exploring the music of iconic French composers renowned for their inventive spirit: Berlioz, Ravel and Debussy. Hailed by The Seattle Times for his “warm tone quality and beautiful expression” during the performance of Berlioz’s Les nuits d'été, the live-in-concert track is paired with studio recordings of Ravel’s imaginative Shéhérazade and Debussy’s colorfully rich “Le livre de Baudelaire,” orchestrated by John Adams. This recording is also available in an immaculate 5.1 digital surround version engineered by 2017 Grammy winner for Best Surround Sound, Dmitriy Lipay.
