De Volkskrant about the CD:

The Ensemble Polytonaal was founded by Marcel Worms in 1992, the 100th year of birth of Darius Milhaud. The name of the Ensemble refers to the polytonal character that dominates in a large number of works by Milhaud: multiple keys are used simultaneously. On this CD you can listen to a number of well-known and less well-known chamber music works from different creative periods by this French composer.

This CD was awarded the Diapason d’or by the French music magazine Diapason.
