L’avant-Garde 1888-1970

This introduction to European and American avant gardes allows to better understand and put into perspective the evolution of the most innovative musics of the twentieth century. As it links together its trailblazers, the global stream of thought of those great creators is outlined, revealing an extraordinary diversity of experiments, sounds, strange, original and influential directions along the way. Bruno Blum got together some essential recordings here and gives meaning to this synthesis in a 36-page educational booklet. Patrick FREMEAUX
