This week at Pristine we mark Fauré's centenary with a superb selection of fabulous stereo recordings by Ansermet and his Orchestre de la Suisse Romande for Decca.
As well as a 1955 Requiem with Suzanne Danco and Gérard Souzay, described in The Gramophone as "in almost every respect an ideal performance", there are also recordings of the Pélléas et Mélisande and Masques et Bergamasques suites, and the prelude from Pénélope, all recorded in 1961 - and all sounding tremendous in new Pristine XR remasters.
We also celebrate the birthday of Italian opera composer Bellini, with a special 10% discount on all his recordings at Pristine.
