series – such as the Ludwigsburg Schlossfestspiele, Bonn’s Beethoven
festival, the Konzerthaus in Berlin, and the Cité de la musique in
Paris – and to collaborate with the West German Broadcasting Company
(WDR) and Deutschlandfunk. This ensemble’s interesting oeuvre is
documented under the Capriccio and Phoenix Edition CD labels, It
includes a number of world premiers and rediscovered orchestral works,
operas, and oratorios. The recording of Nicolas Méhul’s comic opera
