This work is framed to museum-grade, conservation standards, presented in a complimentary moulding and finished with silk-wrapped mats and optical grade Plexiglas. From the first notes of Les illuminations, where the violin and viola exchange their wild barrage of fanfares, it's apparent that this is likely to be an exceptional recording, and that expectation is fully realized in the outstanding performances of these four relatively early works by Benjamin Britten.

Les illuminations series#
Ominous and clearly referencing the tone and character of Rimbaud’s work, Léger has intriguingly captured the strength and essence of this written inspiration.Ĭreated in 1949, this original color lithograph with hand-applied pochoir coloring was one of a series of 15 works by Fernand Léger intended to illustrated a book of poems by the writer, Arthur Rimbaud titled Les Illuminations.

A lively, abstract black and white shape anchors the work, flanked by three circular organic forms in a brilliant red. I alone have the key to this savage parade surrealist French poet.
