An historic re-issue. Constant Lambert(1905-1951) had a charismatic personality and a brilliant mind which could shape and inspire exceptional orchestral performances. This CD features quite extraordinary recordings of the composers Sir William Walton, Franz von Suppé, Emile Waldteufel and Emmanuel Chabrier.
