Thanks for posting about this. Very kind of you to do so.

thank you, I will listen to it ASAP, since I was extremely impressed by their work on the Farrenc symphonies, now my reference.

They're not my preferred orchestra (too HIP for my personal taste), but you have to admire their spirit and sense of adventure under Mme Equilbey.

Laurence Equilbey conducted Emilie Mayer's piano concerto (soloist David Fray) coupled with Schubert's 9th last week. It will be broadcast May 5th by France Musique then available on replay.
A CD of EM's piano concerto and first symphony will be available in 2026 (Warner Classics-Erato).
