Description
A composition pupil of Jules Massenet, Alfred Bruneau was one of the most important but overlooked figures in turn-of-the-century French musical life. His friendship with writer Émile Zola, who shared his desire for theatrical naturalism, strongly informs his work, not least L’Attaque du moulin (‘The Attack on the Mill’), a ‘drame lyrique’. The suite includes rustic elements, but also Mascagni-like verismo beauty tempered by a Gallic palette. Bruneau’s taste for exotic colour is heard to good effect in the ‘Wagnerian’ excerpts from Messidor.
