Imagine the effort it took to cultivate that gut. Bear in mind, he lived a generation before dollar loaves of nutrient-stripped bread. I reckon Milhaud followed a diet similar to De Niro preparing for his role as fat LaMotta. Finest french pastries, cheeses, & wine. Meanwhile, his ear for timbre & rhythm is divine!

It's wonderful to listen to the influences of the greats! Brubeck was Milhaud's student and had such an effect on him that he named his son after him.

& ah, his 'Clarinet Concerto'! Monsieur Milhaud could fuse the abstract & the commonplace (avec génie en plus).

If 'Quatre Visages for Viola & Piano' can move a crumb like me to tears, it ought to be in a jukebox at your local 50's diner. (Shame on you, Johnny Rockets).

There's a gorgeous trio for clarinet, violin and piano that's worth looking for; the Verdehr trio recorded it, but it's elsewhere as well.
