condition (record/cover): NM / EX- (minimal wear) - Marius Constant remains known to the general public for the Twilight Zone theme, those few seconds that defined an entire television aesthetic. But Eloge De La Folie on Erato/Curci reveals other ambitions: Erasmus's praise of folly translated into orchestral terms, satire that bites without sneering.
Constant traversed parallel worlds: "serious" music, ballet with Roland Petit, American television. This mobility could seem opportunistic; it was actually curiosity, refusal of hierarchies between high and low. The LP captures a composer unafraid to dirty his hands with mass media yet willing to claim, when needed, the complexity of cultivated language. The double label credit (Erato and Curci) indicates international co-production, European art music seeking audiences beyond national borders.
