Sheerly beautiful

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I have listened to some other more famous works by Milhaud, but this chamber music album is one of my favorite. None of the pieces in this collection is large, but they are all very expressive and abundant in emotion. Milhaud sounds avant-garde even in our time, but there is some kind of charming harmony in his music. I think his music is much easier to appreciate than those atonal works. It will take you a while to appreciate his creativity if your ears are used to music of baroque era and classical era, but it is going to be rewarding.As for recording, compared to other old recordings of Milhaud's works, some actually conducted by the composer himself, this new recording is very clear and enjoyable. If you like Milhaud's music, you should not miss this album."
