Darius Milhaud is one of the most colourful and versatile composers of 20th century France.
Milhaud was active in all fields and genres of composition: opera, choral, orchestral, chamber and solo works, a prolific writer and bold spirit, a member of the French composer's group "Les Six", a modernist influenced by jazz, polytonality and Brazilian culture.
On this release we hear a generous selection of his orchestral works: the 6 chamber symphonies, the hilarious ballet "Le boeuf sur le toit" (the ox on the roof), the 2nd piano concerto, the popular Le Carneval d'Aix, a concerto for percussion and orchestra and several orchestral suites: appealing music of great imagination, colour and fun!
Excellent recordings, a gem from the VOX catalogue, some of the works conducted by Milhaud himself, who also wrote some contributions to the liner notes.
