1001 Classical recordings you must hear before you die (1901-1950) - Few twentieth century composers were anywhere nearly as prolific as Darius Milhaud, whose listed works stretch to 443 opus numbers produced over a period of 63 years. Yet despite this lifelong activity, Milhaud's posthumous reputation rests largely on those works written at the end of the First World War and during the early 1920s, when his imaginative and undogmatic approach to composition resulted in music exemplified by three of the pieces included here.
