Caramel Mou and Other Great Piano Works of Les Six: Pieces by Auric, Durey, Honegger, Milhaud, Poulenc and Tailleferre

In the early 20th century, composer Erik Satie assembled a group of young musicians who rebelled against the music of Wagner and Debussy. Known as Les Six, the avant-garde composers collaborated with the poet Jean Cocteau to present a highly successful theater program that became the rage of Parisian artistic circles in the 1920s.
