Roussel: Mélodies (complete)

Accounting for a quarter of his output, Roussel’s songs reflect each twist and turn of his creative life. With beguiling singing and sympathetic accompaniments, this delectable set typically finds Timpani setting the standard for a surprisingly under-appreciated corner of the repertoire.
