In the early twentieth century, the influential French clique of composers known as the Les Six got together with the original ideal that music should be spare, witty, and up to date.
The group had one female member, Germaine Tailleferre. But whilst Poulenc, Milhaud and other members of the group have enjoyed enduring popularity, Tailleferre's career was beset by money worries and violent and repressive relationships.
Much of her work has never been recorded and has long been absent from the standard repertoire, but in recent years her work has been championed by musicians trying spearhead a Tailleferre revival. Henrietta Otley spoke to Caroline Potter, a lecturer in music at Kingston University, and to the performer Diana Ambache.
