Description: The recent Naxos series of piano works didn't get them all! Here are three more first recordings (Revue is the first recording of its solo piano version): Jeux I is the title given in 2006 to an unpublished manuscript due to its close stylistic affinities with the Jeux of 1931 (itself not published until 1979) while Spring (not to be confused with the longer suite of 1921, Spring in the Garden) is a 1921 work whose stylistic traits are shared with Butterflies and Birds of Paradise. Best notes ever in a Supraphon release. Karel Kosárek (piano).
