RARE ART NOUVEAU MUSIQUE...
Sébastien Melmoth | Hôtel d'Alsace, PARIS | 09/15/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)
"These recordings of the cosmopolitian art nouveau "decadent" composer Karg-Elert are remarkable for being realized on the quintessential art nouveau instrument--the harmonium d'art.
Michel has recorded 5 volumes in the set: Volume 1 is the best: really fantastic; Vol. 2 is great but the sound is not as clear. Vols. 3-5 are quite excellent.
This is really rare stuff.
