Description:

Padmavati draws its inspiration from Albert Roussel’s travels to India, and unlike many composers who merely sought to evoke the "flavor" of the region, Roussel took the time to study Indian music in depth. The result is a score infused with richly spiced harmonies and a vivid, unique musical language that sets it apart.

The cast of seasoned French singers delivers strong performances, with Robert Massard standing out as Allaouddin. His portrayal adds depth and gravitas to the production. The sound quality is good, making this a rewarding listen for anyone intrigued by Roussel’s distinctive approach.
