For more of Tadaaki Otaka and the BBC National Orchestra of Wales in Franck, head for their 1995 recording of the sensuous, seductive symphonic poem Psyché (Chandos CHAN 9342).

In Gaîté Parisienne, recorded in 2018 with the Orchestre Symphonique de Quebec, conductor Fabien Gabel celebrates his home city via works by Ravel, Poulenc and Offenbach

(ATMA ACD22757). For an orchestral horse ride into a dark and mysterious forest with a similar feel to Le chasseur maudit, try Penderecki’s ‘Winterreise’ Horn Concerto, played by Jennifer Montone and the Warsaw Philharmonic (Naxos 8.572482).
