Sunday Bandstand 16 April 2017
Charles Louis Ambroise Thomas (5 August 1811 – 12 February 1896) was a French composer, best known for his operas Mignon and Hamlet and as Director of the Conservatoire de Paris from 1871 until his death.
Thomas's parents were music teachers. By the age of 10, he was already an experienced pianist and violinist. In 1828, he entered the Paris Conservatoire, while at the same time taking advanced piano lessons privately
His 1851 opera “Raymond ou Les secrets de la Reine” has long been forgotten but the overture to this opera lives on.
On this week's show we feature the William Rimmer arrangement of this rarely played overture. Searching through my own resources I can only find three other recordings. I am sure some listeners will remember playing this exciting arrangement.
Enjoy
