DARIUS MILHAUD conducts L HOMME ET SON DESIR after the poem of Paul Claudel

GRAND PRIX DU DISQUE

played by Ensemble Roger DESORMIERES

Scène I
Apparition de la lune
L'Homme endormi et le fantôme de la femme morte
L'homme qui dort debout, oscillant comme dans un courant d'eau et comme sans aucun poids
Toutes les choses de la forêt qui viennent voir l'homme endormi
Danse de la passion
Réapparition de la femme qui entraîne l'Homme peu à peu en tournant lentement devant lui sur elle-même
La lune I a disparu la première. La lune II disparaît à son tour. Les heures noires se sont écoulées. On voit apparaître les premières heures blanches.

L'Homme et son désir, op. 48 est un ballet de Darius Milhaud composé entre 1917 et 1918.
L'argument est de Paul Claudel, dont le musicien fut le sécrétaire durant son séjour au Brésil, et se déroule dans la forêt amazonienne. C'est le passage des Ballets russes avec Vaslav Nijinski à Rio de Janeiro qui fut le déclic. C'est la première collaboration musicale de Claudel qui renouvela ensuite plusieurs fois l'expérience avec quelques œuvres majeures (dont Jeanne au bûcher d'Arthur Honegger). L'œuvre est également l'un des premiers ballets de Milhaud.
La partition est écrite pour quatre voix (sans parole) et un petit orchestre et un fort effectif de percussions (dont un fouet et un sifflet).
La création eut lieu le 6 juin 1921 avec une chorégraphie de Jean Börlin par les Ballets suédois sous la direction orchestrale de Désiré-Émile Inghelbrecht.
Son exécution demande environ vingt minutes. L'œuvre se compose de huit parties jouées en un seul mouvement :
Scène I

Toutes les choses de la forêt qui viennent voir l'homme endormi
Danse de la passion
Réapparition de la femme qui entraîne l'Homme peu à peu en tournant lentement devant lui sur elle-même
La lune I a disparu la première. La lune II disparaît à son tour. Les heures noires se sont écoulées. On voit apparaître les premières heures blanches.

A Quick NOTE ON GRADING AND SHIPPING:

As you can see from my feedback, I try hard to earn your POSITIVE FEEDBACK and FIVE STAR RATINGS.

If for any reason your transaction was NOT SATISFACTORY, pls contact me and I will work something out with you. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A REASON TO GIVE ME A NEGATIVE RATING or a LOW STAR RATING.

Quick note on grading:

The Grade (Excellent to Fair, I don't give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. Any other defects are stated separately

When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to F), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise.
"SUPERQUIET" is basically noiseless, like a vinyl pressing.
"VERY QUIET" is an exceptionally quiet record for a given pressing.
"Quiet" is a record that is a great example without undue noise for a give pressing.

These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment.

Pls check my other auctions for more great records and phonograph items:

Multiple item shipping: I am happy to combine items for shipment in one parcel.

If you win multiple items, pls send me an INVOICE REQUEST to calculate the correct postage. Ebay check out will not give you the multiple item discount!

Records will be packed safely between corrugated cardboard in a sturdy box with plenty of padding for safe shipment.

Shipment is usually Media Mail, unless another service is requested. Shipping is at your risk, I will be happy to insure items at your cost.

I charge actual postage plus a small fee for packing materials

As always, I guarantee your satisfaction. If you don't like the item, just return it, and I will refund the full purchase price.

If you are in the San Francisco area, I encourage pick-up in person.

US Domestic Shipping:

Here is a guideline for US Media Mail Shipping:

Prices below are for regular 78 rpm records. Up to about 5 records, I will ship Edison Discs for the same rates. Albums from Album Sets count as 1 record. Above that and for international shipments, it will be actual weight plus a small packing charge (1-3$ depending on size of shipment)

1 record: 4.50 – 5.00$

2 records: 5.75$

5 records: 7.50$

10 records: 9.50$

MANY MORE RECORDS: Don't worry. I safely ship 40 - 50 pounds of records double boxed in moving boxes, and even then Media Mail will probably not exceed 30$.

Please send me a message if you would like to lower your shipping rates!

International Buyers:

All'attenzione degli acquirenti italiani:
