Félicien David, an important if often forgotten figure in French music of the late nineteenth century, was one of the pioneers of 'musical Orientalism'. With its fairly-tale plot centred on the Indian princess Lalla Roukh who travels to Bukhara (part of modern Uzbekistan) in search of love, this is an opera noteworthy for its memorable melodies and evocative orchestration. World première recording.  Price: $37.98 |
