AGP135 is the first of
three featuring the music of Charles Chaynes, a French composer who
held executive positions at France-Musique and Radio-France for much of
his career, and so has produced a smaller body of work than he might
have otherwise. This installment includes all of the vocal music by
Chaynes that I could find in my stacks. This is fetchingly lyrical
music exploring a broad range of harmonies and timbres. The influence
of Messiaen comes to the fore every once in a while (and that's never a
bad thing), but otherwise the style is distinctive. The LPs transcribed for this installment are both in excellent condition with little pressing noise. There is gratifyingly little tracking distortion even during the most challenging vocal passages. The installment includes a PDF file with scans of the liner notes from all four LPs included in this and the next two installments. To download
