Le Bœuf Sur Le Toit Op. 58. 17:31. Composed By – Darius Milhaud. Conductor – Pinchas Steinberg. Design – Atelier Langenfass. Engineer – Andreas Fürst, Mechthild Homburg, Peter Urban (2).
Performers: Arabella Steinbacher - violin Munchner Rundfunkorchester Pinchas Steinberg - conductor. Arabella Steinbacher is yet another obviously talented young violinist, but this enterprising release really throws down the gauntlet to the competition, showing how to be both brilliant and musically interesting. These three Milhaud concertos are all but unknown, but they give Steinbacher plenty of opportunity to display her glittering technique as well as emotional maturity.

Concertino de printemps (Spring Concertino) is the first in what eventually became Milhaud’s Four Seasons, each composed for a different ensemble: viola and nine instruments (summer), two pianos and eight instruments (autumn), and trombone with string orchestra (winter). Milhaud himself recorded the entire group for Philips with the Lamoureux Orchestra in the late-1950s, and this new recording is every bit as good.

Le Boeuf sur le toit makes an apt bonus in revealing yet more of Milhaud’s range, though this performance doesn’t hang together quite as well as those by Bernstein (EMI) or Tortelier (Chandos). Still, this remains Steinbacher’s show, and she steals it, impressively. Recording Details: Reference Recording: None.
