Roussel Albert

Albert Roussel (1869-1937) was a French composer who started his music career rather late. Initially interested in math and serving in navy for 7 years,  he studied composition with Vincent D’Indy at the Paris Schola Cantorum where he later taught.
Even though his musical style was greatly influenced by C. Debussy and M. Ravel, his latest works are considered as rather neoclassical.
Among his most popular compositions: ballets Le festin de l'araignée, Bacchus et Ariane, and Aeneas, as well as four symphonies. Among his notable students: Erik Satie and Bohuslav Martinů who dedicated his Serenade for Chamber Orchestra to Roussel.
