Description
"The public's favorite pastime, the main source of entertainment and information, radio was a world of sounds: it went out to meet events, personalities, people, holding out a microphone that was sometimes complicit, sometimes indiscreet, offering authors and actors the hospitality of its studios, delivering to artists the new prestige of its machines. In a condensed period from 1942 to 1952, through the productions of the Studio and the Club d'essai, Pierre Schaeffer revives the most remarkable moments of radio in its golden age and retraces ten years of research and creation: from the first reports on the Liberation of Paris to works of fiction and the beginnings of musique concrète... All domains, all genres, in all tones..."
