- Paul Marie Théodore Vincent d'Indy (27 March 1851 - 2 December 1931) was a French composer and teacher. Inspired by his own studies with Franck and dissatisfied with the standard of teaching at the Conservatoire de Paris, d'Indy, together with Charles Bordes and Alexandre Guilmant, founded the Schola Cantorum de Paris in 1894. D'Indy taught there and later at the Paris Conservatoire until his death. Among his many students were Isaac Albéniz, Leo Arnaud, Joseph Canteloube (who later wrote d'Indy's biography), Pierre Capdevielle, Jean Daetwyler, Arthur Honegger, Eugène Lapierre, Leevi Madetoja, Albéric Magnard, Rodolphe Mathieu, Darius Milhaud, Helena Munktell, Cole Porter, Albert Roussel, Adrien Rougier, Erik Satie, Ahmet Adnan Saygun, Georges-Émile Tanguay, Otto Albert Tichý, Emiliana de Zubeldia and Xian Xinghai.

Grant Johannesen, piano and the London Philharmonic conducted by Sir Eugene Goossens.
As indicated by the title, d'Indy took the principal theme from a folk song he heard at Périer overlooking the Cévennes mountains (hence the work's alternative name, Symphonie cévenole). Originally conceived as a fantaisie for piano and orchestra, the symphony is unusual in that it is scored for a prominent (but never dominant) piano part together with orchestra, and has acquired the label sinfonia concertante from some critics. - Hudba
L'oeuvre la plus populaire du compositeur, il est vrai qu'elle ne manque pas de charme et de passion. Merci encore pour cette tres belle interprétation. ❤
When e great composer takes on a folk song the result is always very accessible and magnificent music. Thank You !
Hearing this played by Johannesen with the LPO under Goossens is a real treat. Lovely interpretation! This has to be the most lush, atmospheric and beautiful of French works for piano and orchestra ever composed! I first discovered it in a music listening room in my college student union building over half a century ago with my girlfriend and someday-to-be-future wife. So it has meaning beyond just music appreciation to me! Thanks!
Another trip through memory lane for me. Thanks for posting work and orchestral score.
Questa 'fantasia per pianoforte e orchestra' è senza dubbio piacevole e ben orchestrata.D'Indy mostra notevole bravura e ispirazione.
Un ottimo post e un saluto a Bartje.
I really like this symphony. It doesn't sound like anything else by d'Indy (that I've listened to, anyway).
C'est une très belle et puissante musique.... Quand on connaît la force de caractère de ce compositeur qui n'est pas très connu du grand public, me semble-t-il...
Sans aucun doute le chef-d'oeuvre du créateur de la Schola Cantorum. Merci à
Bartje Bartmans pour ce partage !
Without a doubt the masterpiece of the creator of the Schola Cantorum. thanks to
Bartje Bartmans for this sharing!
Absolutamente increíble, gracias por compartir !!
So much poetry and post-romantism in this music. I enjoy it. Why call we this piece a symphony or not a concerto ? May be because, for the first time, the piano is not playing "the star' but does his part in a common recalling. It just tell the orhestra : " Do you remember, when we were in the south of France, in the Cévennes ? A pleasant region, don't you remember ? " In the past, the Cévennes had a strong identity ("protestants" against the royal army of Louis XIV).
Absolutely fantastic !!!!!
Força e apaixonante
Such beautiful Middle Romantic Music 😍 ❤️💕
Excellent !
Around 22:00, it sounds like "This is the Army Mr. Greene. We like to keep our barracks clean."
Unas ganas de vivir dan estás Sinfonías jaja
I like it.
Good
SUBLIME.
D'Indy was usually quite Germanic, but this piece is unusually Gallic for him, and has the sound we typically associate with French music. In reality, D'Indy slowly moved through his career from a Germanic romanticism to a Gallic "Mediterraneanism" which actually had a profound affect on future French music. His later works are not that far from the earliest works of Les Six.
Rightfully forgotten.
It's not forgotten you just listened to it. If it was forgotten I wouldn't know of the existence of it. Pianists like Jean-Yves Thibaudet, Aldo Ciccolini etc. recorded it. Not exactly the fate of a forgotten work.
I thought no Piano
