Completed in 1911, Évocations was the work that put Albert Roussel on the musical map at its premiere a year later. The first of his scores to be inspired by his honeymoon tour of India in 1909, its three movements successively depict the caves at Ellora, the ‘pink city’ of Jaipur and the Ganges as it flows through the sacred city of Benares.
