1 euro find. Haebler is one of the best Mozartinterpreters.

Unreservedly recommended ....

 

So, ..... these are special readings ? Never heard music of Roussel, to be honest.

I don't think you can go wrong with Dutoit's recordings of Ravel's music on London/Decca. The one that Larry mentioned -- and all the rest!  Dutoit's Ravel is collected in this 4-CD box:

Incidentally, I also agree with Larry's Dutoit/OSM Holst "The Planets" recommendation.  

 

Similarly, Martinon's Debussy on EMI/Warner Classics is nonpareil, IMO.

  

 

And, like I said earlier, I prefer Munch for Berlioz. (Colin Davis is fabulous too -- and others as well. But Munch is "home base," where I always return.)

Just my perspective, of course! There are MANY, MANY wonderful recordings of these three French giants.

 

 I heard Martinton's Debussy before and Colin's Fantastique and Requiem. I going to listen to Martinton's .

Not what i expected. I guess Dutoit is giving the music of Roussel some air but still, that begin. Much power, never heard Dutoit giving that sort of energy.

The technical of oboe and basson playing in Dresden in the 18th century was breathtaking, almost literally ...
