Antal Doráti & London Symphony Orchestra - Milhaud: Le Boeuf sur le toit; Françaix: Concertino for Piano and Orchestra; Auric: Overture; Satie: Parade (2025) [Hi-Res]

This 1966 album, featuring the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Antal Doráti, is a vibrant celebration of early 20th-century French modernism. The recording highlights the playful and eclectic spirit of the era with Milhaud's Le Boeuf sur le toit, a lively and whimsical piece inspired by Brazilian rhythms. Jean Françaix's Concertino for Piano and Orchestra, performed by the composer himself, sparkles with wit and virtuosity, while Georges Auric's Overture delivers a burst of energetic charm. The album concludes with Satie's Parade, a surreal and avant-garde ballet score that captures the essence of Dadaist creativity.
