About
Another installment in the unique series of compositions for the famous Ballet Russes commissioned by Diaghalev. Featuring some unusual works, this disc includes Milhaud’s ‘Le train bleu’ (which celebrates the train from Paris – Deauville, a luxury modernization of its time!), and Tommasini’s homage to Scarlatti’s compositions (1878-1950). Henri Saguet’s ‘Le Chatte’ is one of the most important works of the late Diaghalev era.

The discovery (for me, at least) is La chatte, by the forgotten Henri Sauget...Chic, economical, tuneful and unmistakeably Gallic, the suite's Overture and eight movements are a delightful souffle
