There are evocations of calm seascapes, delicate wind tracery, and snow-covered landscapes. Some moments are steeped in antiquity, such as La cathedrale engloutie, others in expressive portraiture, as in La fille aux cheveux de lin. There is even a cake-walk. The Preludes are performed here in the subtle and colouristic orchestrations of muchadmired Slovak-born composer Peter Breiner. Throughout it's history, the Royal Scottish National Orchestra has played an important part in Scotland's musical life, including performing at the opening ceremony of the Scottish Parliament building in 2004. Jun Merkl has appeared as a guest conductor with the orchestras of Philadelphia, Cleveland, NHK Symphony, Tonhalle Zurich, and the Munich, Oslo and Czech Philharmonics among others, and at the Met, Covent Garden, Vienna State and Dresden Semper Operas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Danseuses de Delphes \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Voiles \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Le Vent Dans la Plaine \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Les Sons Et Les Parfums Tournent Dans L'air Du Soir \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Les Collines D'anacapri \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Des Pas Sur la Neige \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Ce Qu'a Vu Le Vent D'ouest \u003cbr\u003e1.8 La Fille Aux Cheveux de Lin \u003cbr\u003e1.9 La Serenade Interrompue \u003cbr\u003e1.10 La Cathedrale Engloutie \u003cbr\u003e1.11 La Danse de Puck \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Minstrels \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Brouillards \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Feuilles Mortes \u003cbr\u003e1.15 La Puerta Del Vino \u003cbr\u003e1.16 Les Fees Sont D'exquises Danseuses \u003cbr\u003e1.17 Bruyeres \u003cbr\u003e1.18 General Lavine Excentric \u003cbr\u003e1.19 La Terrasse Des Audiences Du Clair de Lune \u003cbr\u003e1.20 Ondine \u003cbr\u003e1.21 Hommage a S.
