“The young composer’s [Léo Delibes’s] orchestration is exquisite, it rejects the banality of easy effects, it is a constant source of new ideas which not only charm but also interest the listener, it plays around the voices without detriment [...], it is as sonorous as can be, when necessary, without ever being harsh; in a word, it is perfection.”
(Camille Saint-Saëns, Le Voltaire, 13 March 1880).
