About

This disc contains world première recordings of some of Milhaud’s most virtuosic works.
 
Darius Milhaud’s nine compositions for piano and orchestra (including five concertos) occupy a special rank not only in his overall oeuvre but also in the history of French music. From the famous Carnaval d’Aix to the Piano Concerto No 5 of 1955, these works impressively unite the two main strengths of Milhaud’s music – clarity and spirit.
 
Michael Korstick rises to this immense interpretative challenge with outstanding virtuosity and musicality. The conductor is Alun Francis, who won rave reviews for his previous complete recordings of Milhaud’s Complete Symphonies on CPO.
