Omschrijving

Paris during the Twenties was a cheap place for travellers, so everybody went there. It was, as Stravinsky said, the hub of the musical world. As a result, few decades in the life of any European city have been as rich in musical personalities and achievements. Composers working in or near the city included Ravel, Fauré, Satie, Stravinsky, Prokofiev, Dukas, Koechlin, d’Indy, Enesco and Roussel as well as the up-and-coming members of Les Six, notably Poulenc, Milhaud and Auric. Among their collaborators were the painters Picasso, Braque, Derain, Laurencin, Dufy and Gris. Jean Cocteau kept a watchful eye on the new trends and impresarios - Diaghilev, Ida Rubinstein and Serge Koussevitzky among them - did their best to dragoon these multifarious talents into ordered enterprises. Horowitz, Robert Casadesus and Vlado Perlemuter all made their Paris debuts in this decade, as did the young prodigies Ginette Neveu and Yehudi Menuhin. It was also a time of tensions. The war had cast doubt on old certainties. The whole notion of respect (about which Debussy had already had sour things to say) was called into question. Irreverence was in, short was beautiful, the circus was aesthetically at least as valuable as the symphony orchestra. It was also a time in which women were coming into their own; the composers Germaine Tailleferre and Lili Boulanger; salon hostesses the Princesse de Polignac and Mme Clemenceau; teachers such as Nadia Boulanger, Lili’s formidable elder sister; and the amazing harpsichordist Wanda Landowska.
