The Spider's Feast

The Spider's Feast

"The Spider's Feast", Op. 17, is a 1912 ballet with music by the French composer Albert Roussel (1869-1937). Known in the original French as "Le festin de l'araignée", some of the music has usually been performed and recorded in a concert suite. Arturo Toscanini included the suite in one of his broadcast concerts with the NBC Symphony Orchestra. This version was recorded digitally by Georges Prêtre and the Orchestra National de France for EMI in 1986. Typical of Roussel's earlier works, the music is impressionistic, much in the style of his countrymen Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel. It is lushly orchestrated.
