LAMOUREUX CONCERTS ORCHESTRA The origins of the Orchestre
des Concerts Lamoureux date back to the 1890’s, when
Charles Lamoureux, who had been so frustrated in his
conducting career by the musical politics of Paris,
formed his own symphony orchestra. He had married into
money, and was able to meet any loss the orchestra might
make. In fact it became very popular, and he frequently
took the orchestra to London, where it enjoyed great
success performing the French repertoire. It continued
after its founder’s death, performing and recording
with many of the greatest conductors of the time. As with
many orchestras, it has experienced difficult financial
times in recent years, but still retains an important
role in French musical life. This is the orchestra’s
first Naxos recording.
