Serge Nigg was a Messiaen pupil and, in 1946, one of the first French composers to write twelve-tone music. He then abandoned it for a socialist-realist turn in the years of his communist commitment, before coming back to a freer modernism in the late fifties. The two works here belong to that return: the Jérôme Bosch-Symphonie (1960), an orchestral panorama inspired by the painter's visions, and Le Chant du dépossédé (1964), a vocal and orchestral work.
Both sound like Nigg's attempt to reconcile serial rigour with the theatrical colour he never really gave up. Issued in 1980 by Le Chant du Monde in a gatefold sleeve, with notes by Jean Roy and a photograph by Willy Ronis.
