Milhaud: Complete Violin and Viola Sonatas

Tortorelli, Mauro;

95232

In many ways Darius Milhaud was the Haydn of the 20th century. Writing fluently and productively in all the usual genres of classical music, always inventing new instrumental combinations, he was never short of a melody, or an idea to make productive use of the past in his own art. The chamber music for solo violin and viola was written during the first three decades of his inexhaustibly productive career. The first violin sonata dates from his student days at the Paris Conservatoire but is already marked by some of his distinguishing musical fingerprints such as the rhythmic irregularity and indeterminate, ‘floating’ tonality that leave the listener with the impression of being carried through a subtly moving mist of sound. It has rarely appeared on record, and this new recording is an invaluable window onto the early career of one of the most protean talents of 20th-century music.
