Thanks to Dave Lewis for his very informative poset on Milhaud. Since Judith Zaimont brought this name up a couple of days ago I managed to listen to all the recordings of Milhaud I have: five pieces from the thirties, four from 1919-1929 and two from 1953. Supposing that these are representative, I would characterize his music as lithe, lyrical or perky, besides jazz-influenced, and quite different from the Hindemith I know, although it is clear that both composers are neoclassical. Hindemith's textures are less clear, and I find him ponderous in comparison with Milhaud and thus less likable, although I am open to the possibility of changing my mind. Jim
