Thanks for posting. Great music.

The Fremaux/Birmingahm SO is excellent. You can buy this version by Spruit as a very good download from the website Klassichaus.us. Go to the website and it is listed in the section "Garage Classics". I am glad that you enjoyed listening.

I like the spirited opening. Other versions take it ponderously.

Thanks so very much for posting this gem.

The Fremaux/Birmingahm is the most fantastic and famous recording of The Cid. Long Play.

Seems like Massenet was on the forefront of the "Beautiful Music" genre. Which in spite of its namesake can be overtly dull. However after listening to what the 20th century has generated, Massenet's music can be viewed at a pleasant change of pace. Something my mind understands thus is not frustrating and challenging and therefore NOT making me feel entirely like a mindless pedestrian simpleton. Sure his music is "familiar" however the prefix afterall means family. He created it all. Yanni stand down. This music is great and it reminds me of Christmastime and Ren & Stimpy. What's wrong with that? At any rate, the mid-century library musics tv composers must have looked up to Massenet a great deal. Take note, soundtrack fans!!

+blondeeagles "...mid-century library musics tv composers must have looked up to Massenet a great deal." Yes, not to mention Gounod, Bizet, Franck, Saint-Saëns, Liszt, Respighi, Grofé, and, for the scorers of cartoons, the 20th century ones like Honegger, Poulenc, Stravinsky (see: Octet for Wind Instruments, Pulcinella, Renard the Fox), Prokofiev (Romeo & Juliet Ballet) and Shostakovitch.

Alas, your Simplistic Simon meager intelligence shows. Go hide and listen to rap music.

You are most kind to this music moron.

.. a bit hurried and as if manuscript-read while the musicians played musical chairs - lacks depth, texture and is metronomic at best, interpretively devoid. I did not enjoy it. The final movement sounds like a piece extracted out of the main theme of Bonanza. My apologies, but not since 1977, did I hear this sort of interpretation.
