Cocteau,Jean & Les Six Once Upon A Time - O.S.T. CD

2008 release. Paris 1919. Playwright, novelist, poet, surrealist, filmmaker and self-publicist Jean Cocteau was the literary spokesman for Les Six. With his endorsement, and the inspiration of Erik Satie and fired by the principles of Dada and surrealism, the group, comprising Francis Poulenc, Arthur Honegger, Darius Milhaud, Georges Auric, Germaine Tailleferre and Louis Durey, expressed their irreverence towards the twin spectres of lifeless tradition and bloodless modernism. Our edition comprises famous examples of the work of this group of composers who so scandalized '20s Paris. Includes themes from Georges Auric?s scores for Cocteau's very influential surrealistic film fantasies; Orph?e (Orpheus), La belle et la b?te (Beauty and the Beast) and L'aigle ? deux t?tes (The Eagle has Two Heads) and more.
