This volume provides a taste of the music of those who brought life into popular French music in the 20th century and allowed the emergence of a new style in the after-war years. Georges Auric, Bohuslav Martinů, Francis Poulenc, Maurice Ravel, and Alexandre Tansman are amongst those composers who embody an era that has musical sophistication, charm and seduction at its fingertips.
