Conducted by Clarence Raybould

Darius Milhaud, one of the most individual of living French composers, was born in 1892 at Aix-en-Provence, and his Suite Provencale reflects the genial, sunny atmosphere of that particular corner of his native land. In it he makes use not only of popular melodies of Provence but also of themes by Andre Campra, the seventeenth-century Provencal composer. The Suite, which is in eight movements, had its first performance at the Venice Festival in 1937 and was first heard in England in December of that year.
