Milhaud | Le Carnaval d'Aix & other works

The clarity of orchestral playing, good humour and sheer enjoyment are just three characteristics in the hilariously enjoyable 'Le carnival d'Aix' with its jazzy piano part or the miraculously deft 'L'apotheose de Moliere'. Ronald Corp directs with empathy in the kaleidoscopic 'Le carnival de Londres' whilst the famous 'Le boeuf sur le toit' is also very well handled.

'This is a cracker of a disc, full of vitality, fabulous tunes, lashings of uncontrollable high spirits. All the players enter into the spirit of the music - tremendous fun' --Gramophone
