Violinist Lorraine McAslan brilliantly rises to the music's very considerable technical demands — velvet-toned in the Une Nuit de Mai, a sumptuous musical picture of a spring night in the Ukraine, and powerfully virtuosic in the Divertissement in A minor. Prizewinning saxophonist Amy Dickson delights in the charming Divertissement Espagnol for saxophone and orchestra. The program is completed with the vivid symphonic fantasy La Villanelle du Diable.
