About "Prelude to "La princesse lointaine", Op. 4" by Bamberger Symphoniker
Tcherepnin's prelude is a hazy, perfumed vision—the distant princess rendered in shifting, chromatic colors. The Bamberger strings shimmer like heat over a far-off tower. It's a music of longing and mist, calm on its surface but restless underneath, as if the dream might dissolve at any moment.
