Darius Milhaud: Symphony No.2, op 247 (1944) 

Henri Julien Félix Rousseau (21 May 1844 - 2 September 1910), in case you want to look up the painter.

What a wonderful work this is. Milhaud's music is so magical.

On one of my rare visits to Indiana University (Bloomington, IN) and their wonderful School of Music to visit friends, I overheard a joke among students went like this: "Did you hear they are finally going to record all of Milhaud's works?" other student: "No, why?" 1st student: "Yes, it will take about 700 to 900 LP's."

Milhaud is so wonderful when he's in a tranquil mood...

let´s be honest: this goes far more interesting than many of Stravinsky´s works of the similar genre. I would mention the C Major Symphony and the Symphony in 3 movements . Principally because there is no weird "Beethoven Parts", and because I hear the music directly, not the musical concepts. One friend of mine despised Mihaud as kittschy or whatever, but notice that original happy music, colorful music is THE challege after the romantic and the classical era. It will always sound somehow superfluous to those heavy spirits that find sadness and obscurity so chick and superior. However i do believe Milhaud has some "kitschy" stuff I don´t like, and I don´t know his music so well yet; i remember that I got me hearing his music years ago and got also an inverse reaction. I may hear this many times to get impregnated by this rich freedom of composition. Remembers already Dutilleux, that comes later with something more radical

Le pouvoir expressif de l'architecture sonore rompt avec toute forme de transcription du réel pour s'attacher à l'expression d'un univers serein. Les couleurs et le rythme de ces compositions sont un langage qui donne vie à l'exaltation. Allelouia

Спасибо. Замечательная музыка !

Exceptionally beautiful. Another fine symphony by the master.

Great piece of music.

Milhaud is the great novator,alongside Scriabine and Stravinsky.He is the father of the modern music.No Chostakovitch,Martinu,Honegger....without him!
