Forget the stupid madeline: As Alex Ross explains: "On July 1, 1907, Marcel Proust organized a short concert to follow a festive dinner at the Ritz in Paris. The program, with its interweaving of Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and protomodern strands, exemplifies the impeccable taste of one of the most musically attuned writers in literary history."
Two new albums evoke the ambience: Music in Proust’s Salons, with cellist Steven Isserlis and pianist Connie Shih, and Proust, le Concert Retrouvé, featuring violinist Théotime Langlois de Swarte and pianist Tanguy de Williencourt.
