Sauguet (1901-1989) was a French composer whose music always followed logical lines of development, but nonetheless kept to a strict tonality. (This was due to the sometimes-obnoxious influence of Erik Satie). If there is an influence in Sauguet's writing, it comes from Milhaud. All of his symphonies have it, and it's not a bad thing to have. In his Symphony 3 (of 1955), Sauguet exhibits a kind of post-war athleticism, the opening theme distinct and engaging. His Symphony 4 (of 1971) deftly avoids elements of post-modernism and becomes a fully mature work of poise and sobriety (which he also got from Milhaud). --Paul Cook

A student of Erik Satie, composer Henri Sauguet (1901-1989) also became closely associated with famous composers such as Poulenc and Milhaud. His fame climbed after his commissions to write ballets. This album includes Sauguets complete catalogue for guitar. Guitarist Alfonso Baschiera brilliantly interprets these works, and is joined by flutist Frederica Lotti for Six Pieces Faciles.
