SOMM Recordings celebrates the 150th birthday of the great French-American conductor Pierre Monteux (1875-1964) with his live performances of Claude Debussy's Images pour orchestre and Igor Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms. These recordings from 1961 with the BBC Symphony Orchestra & Chorus have been superbly remastered by Lani Spahr. His critically acclaimed audio restorations for SOMM have been highly praised by Gramophone, BBC Radio 3 and the Sunday Times, among many others.

These live recordings from late in Monteux's life, showcasing his profound and personal insights into the works of Debussy and Stravinsky, are combined with a tribute to Pierre Monteux by violinist Alex Nifosi.
