Danse Macabre

Danse Macabre
- In time for Halloween, this album features Saint-Saens' Danse Macabre, Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain, Dukas' The Sorcerer's Apprentice, and Dvorak's The Noonday Witch, among other spooky classical works
The supernatural meets technical wizardry in this spectacularly recorded program of rare and familiar music to celebrate Halloween.

Kent Nagano conducts some of the best-loved classics of the macabre including Rimsky-Korsakovs technicolor re-orchestration of Mussorgskys Night on a Bare Mountain and Dukass The Sorcerers Apprentice which achieved fame on the soundtrack for Disneys film Fantasia.

The album is also filled with rarities such as Balakirevs tone poem Tamara and Charles Ivess Halloween, the first of his Three Outdoor Scenes of which Central Park in the Dark is the best-known.

This is the second recording to be released in Deccas newly revived association with the Montreal Symphony under Music Director Kent Nagano. Always a benchmark for supreme audiophile quality this relationship now bears fruit with innovative and unusual repertoire: the first release of the rare Honegger/Ibert opera L Aiglon (the first-ever recording of the complete opera) was an immediate critical success, voted Album of the Week in The Sunday Times and Recording of the Month in Opera magazine.
