4.0 out of 5 stars Good overall view of Milhaud, September 6, 2001

This review is from: Composers in Person: Darius Milhaud (Audio CD)

This compilation contains Milhaud's best known works and with the composer conducting with great verve and elan, nuance and quality of interpretation are all there. My favorite, the joyous Suite Provencale is superbly played. There is also the jazz oriented La Creation du Monde, the nostalgic Saudades do Brasil with its swaying rhythms and the comedic Le Boeuf sur le Toit with its "Crazy Horse Saloon" humor. A good introduction to a most interesting French composer and heartily recommended.

This review is from: Composers in Person: Darius Milhaud (Audio CD)

More importantly than just being a recording of great (and often neglected) music, this is a GREAT recording of great music. This is The Performance to get of these works. Don't waste your money on other conductors who don't get it.

All this is based on my LP -- which, alas, doesn't have Scaramouche on it. I trust the Milhaud gives it the proper bounciness, but I haven't heard it for sure!
