Migot: Suite a Trois, Le Livre des Danceries - Trio Hochelaga, Robert Cram

Product Description:

A French composer, painter, and a carver. Georges Elbert Migot is his real name. He was born in Paris on 27th of February, 1891. In 1909, he entered the Paris Conservatory of Music and studied composition under Charles-Marie Widor, orchestration under Vincent D'Indy. He won 1st prize in composition three times from 1918 to 1920. Although he was largely influenced by Faure's compositional manner, he came to be fascinated by medieval polyphonic forms. He declared his standpoint by calling himself the 'Group of One' in order to confront the neo-classical Group of Six who were predominant around that era. He died at Levallois, near from Paris on 5th of January in 1976.

The works on this intriguing issue are all new to the catalogue and reflect his late romantic style combining elements of Franck, Faure and Satie.
