This latest entry in hänssler CLASSIC's critically acclaimed Koechlin series presents two of the composer's late works including his expansive tribute to the Cantor of Leipzig, "Offrande musicale sur le nom de Bach Op. 187," which lay unperformed until 1973. FOr this recording, conductor Heinz Holliger has incorporated numerous textual corrections made from the original manuscripts. Also included is the somewhat better known tone poem Les Bandar-log Op. 176, the centerpiece of his large orchestral cycle based on Kipling's Jungle Book.

From All Music Guide:

It's possible, but, because of its tremendous intellectual complexity, it is not necessarily easy to
love Charles Koechlin's music. Hänssler Classics should be commended for their series of recordings of
Koechlin's music in general, and for this disc combining two of his most imposing orchestral scores:
Les Bandar-log and Offrande musicale sur le non de BACH. The former is a 20-minute scherzo taking as
its subject matter an episode from Kipling's Jungle Book involving monkeys and music; apparently,
if you put enough monkeys in a room long enough, they'll create everything from tonality to atonality to
polytonality. The latter is a nearly 50-minute-long compendium of virtually anything and everything that
can be done contrapuntally with the pitches B flat, A, C, and B natural (B-A-C-H in German musical nomenclature).
Both works require listeners' undivided attention. Without it, it's too easy to get lost in Les Bandar-log's
multiple monkey fugues, and in the Offrande musicale's manifold mazes of counterpoint. Attentive listeners,
though, will be rewarded with some of the most inventive and entertaining music written in the twentieth century.
These performances by Heinz Holliger leading the Radio-Sinfonieorchester Stuttgart open up the details of
the scores: the intelligent design, the luminous colors, the wide-ranging emotions, and the almost
unfathomable intricacies. Captured in richly detailed, warmly sonorous digital sound, this disc may help
revive interest in Koechlin's work.
