Agreed. His fast movements tend to be either superficially cheerful (e.g. jazzy or 'Brazilian'), or his polytonal obsession ends up making them less memorable. @@richardboyer1080

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."
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
Yeah, he wound up teaching at Mills college in Oakland. Despite the connotation of the city - "there is no there there "- there is so much culture in that area. For example Flints Ribs. Oakland borders Berkeley.
What a wonderful work this is. Milhaud's music is so magical.
Great piece of music.
Milhaud is so wonderful when he's in a tranquil mood...
tu a raison

Exceptionally beautiful. Another fine symphony by the master.
Спасибо. Замечательная музыка !

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

Written in Oakland?
