or Albert Roussel, for that matter. A bit modern with even a hint of 'Shosty' at one point? OK, maybe I imagined that. :-)
The whole album is very French and done in a French way.
Yes, a bit of coughing between each of the Six épigraphes antiques, but it's Europe and everyone over there smokes. OK, maybe not as bad as the live Russian recording of the 70's, but that was likely due to Tuberculosis AND smoking.
So yes, I did enjoy it but it's SO easy with QOBUZ to just...
Listen! Without having to worry if the piece is worth whatever $$ a download would cost.
