Charles Koechlin's 'Les heures persanes' is a work based on the French novelist and traveller Pierre Loti’s 'Vers Ispahan', detailing his journey across Persia. Koechlin’s hour-long work is a series of pieces - condensed into just two-and-a-half days - that captures and distils the scents and sounds of this faraway land.

Performers: Ludwig Steinherr; Fouad El-Auwad, reciter. Munich Radio Orchestra. Conductor: Leo Hussain.
