CD Reviews

AN AMUSING MILHAUD "MENAGERE," BUT WITH A SMALL CAVEAT

Melvyn M. Sobel | Freeport (Long Island), New York | 10/27/2000

(3 out of 5 stars)

"This CD packs in a goodly assortment of topnotch Milhaud piano vignettes, all played with verve and panache, but a little shy on warmth and depth. However, it is still quite worthwhile having, not least of all because it contains the charming "La Muse Menagere," Op. 245 ("The Household Muse"). As well, it also fills in a multitude of gaps in the Milhaud piano repertoire and, as such, is fair competition. Ms. Choveaux is an excellent pianist, worthy of attention and consideration. She sparkles rather than shines; but many of these clever, quirky pieces call for just this. The caveat is, unfortunately, the sound. It's ambient, a tad too distant and slightly course-grained. However, the ear does eventually adjust.

[Running time: 68:42]"
