Charles Koechlin: Les heures persanes (1913-19)

i just got the Kathryn Stott version - breathtaking! Who is playing this?

WHAT.

A.

GENIUS.

Milhaud called the greatest composer of the past 50 years (in his time), i. e. better than Debussy or Ravel, and I think he might have been right.

Milhaud was right, imo. When I first heard Koechlin on a TV broadcast, as a kid, I could at first not identify the music. Then I spontaneously thought, 'well it resembles a tiny bit Debussy, but 10 times better.'
