A beautifully performed and recorded disc.  The only downside is the short playing time of 47:33.  This is the only recording available to my knowledge and I highly recommend it!

Wonderful sound and playing from the Iceland Symphony Orchestra.  Very easy on the ear and very romantic music.  A great disc to end the D'Indy Chandos series.  Don't miss this one!
