Georges Auric

Auric's style is very much in the classical tradition, his formal musical education being quite evident, and the orchestration frequently transparent using only a handful of instruments. He was particularly adept at spanning the entire breadth of a symphony orchestra in the space of a minutes using combinations of only 2 or 3 instruments at a time.

    LES PARENTS TERRIBLES

    JEAN COCTEAU France, 1948

    Adapted from his infamous, once-banned 1938 play, Jean Cocteau’s unsung masterwork fuses farce, social satire, and tragedy to paint a perverse picture of familial dysfunction. Reprising his stage role, muse Jean Marais cuts an indelible figure as a young man wilting under maternal possessiveness.
