JamesAHarrod Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 One of my pet projects when I was working at UCI was a www presentation on Darius Milhaud. Elizabeth and Elliott Hurwitt had published an appraisal of Milhaud's works on CD in two editions of the Schwann catalogue. I contacted the Hurwitts and gained their endorsement to present their work on the web. Earlier this year I contacted Steve Albin who handles all of my internet things to request that he transfer the Milhaud presentation to a new domain name. It had been captured by the Wayback Machine and Steve did a wonderful job of bringing it to a new life. Many of things that I had planned back in the 1990s are now being realized on the site. If you are a Milhaud fan please check it out. https://dariusmilhaud.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 I’ll have to check it out. Funny enough, I really really love his very first string quartet (one of, like, isn’t it 15?). Don’t know how important it is, but it’s a real gem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 Milhaud is one of my favourite composers! Thanks for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasing the Korean Posted December 5, 2021 Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 For a few weeks this past Spring, I was listening repeatedly to The Household Muse, the original piano version. It was the only music that made sense to me during that stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesAHarrod Posted December 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2021 Yes indeed! Ralph Swickard gave me a copy of his Milhaud in Midi where he transcribed all 15 pieces. I plan to listen again this morning. Thanks for the reminder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
