New composer from France: Benjamin Godard!
Born in 1849, he studied Violin with Henri Vieuxtemps, and composition with Napoléon Henri Reber (a student of Anton Reicha). Althugh he died relatively young for tubercolosis in 1895, he left a great amount of works: eight operas (for example Jocelyn, which Berceuse has a lot of recordings), some more or less programmatic symphonies, solo concertos, various chamber works, a lot of Piano pieces, and more than 100 songs.
On SPs score videos, you can have a real mini-marathon of his works:
his two Piano Concertos – No.1 in A minor and No.2 in G minor
three of his Symphonies (Symphonie gothique in A minor, Symphony No.2 in B flat major, and Symphonie orientale)
the 3 Morceaux for Orchestra, Op.51
