I am not a better man but as I am a serious "fan" of Koechlin, I can
listen to everything he wrote and besides, "Les Chants du Nectaire" is
a masterwork.

If you are interested in Koechlin you can try his huge "Jungle Book"
(Radio-Symphonie Orchester Berlin, David Zinman, RCA, 2 CD's), his songs
(Claudette Leblanc & Boaz Sharon, Hyperion), his symphonic poems (Le
Buisson Ardent etc, Rheinland-Pfalz Philharmonic, Leif Segerstam, Marco
Polo), his piano music (Les Heures Persanes, Herbert Henck, Wergo) and so
on. And the new Hyperion disc of his cello works is very beautiful indeed.
