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.
This new recording contains the complete violin and viola sonatas, highly
attractive works in which the formal structures of the sonata form are
imbued with the temperament, colours and perfumes of the Provence,
the natural habitat of Darius Milhaud.
Excellent performances by Mauro Tortorelli, who plays both violin and
viola, and pianist Angela Meluso, who already successfully recorded for
Brilliant Classics the Violin Sonatas by Saint-Saëns (BC94848), which
received 4 and 5 star reviews in the international press.
Excellent liner notes in Italian and English

Recording: October 2015, Studio I Musicanti, Rome, Italy
