By Angela Meluso, Gran Duo Italiano, and Mauro Tortorelli. By Darius Milhaud. Country of Origin: Germany. Classical. CD (2 discs). Published by Naxos (NX.BRI95232).

Darius Milhaud is one of the most colorful and versatile composers of 20th century France. He 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, colors and perfumes of the Provence, the natural habitat of Darius Milhaud. This release is an excellent performance 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-Saens, which received 4 and 5 star reviews in the international press.
