Elsewhere, the outer portions of the rousing 1873 overture Patrie may not quite have the strutting swagger or mischievous point of, say, Beecham’s charismatic 1956 outing with the RPO but there’s still plenty of spirit in evidence, and the two characteristically long-breathed tunes at its heart are moulded with genuine elegance and fragrant poetry. No grumbles, either, with the delectably unforced account of the Petite Suite that Bizet assembled from his Jeux d’enfants – and it’s preceded by his orchestral reworking of ‘Les quatres coins’ (No 8 from the piano-duet original). Vividly realistic sound is the icing on the cake of another irresistible bargain from this stylish partnership. More please, Naxos!
