	Jacques Ibert - Films as composer:
		Jacques Ibert's reputation as a lightweight composer of witty frivolities—a kind of ex officio member of "Les Six"—does him a lot less than justice.
		For Ibert was also the composer of the somber symphonic poem "Ballade de la geôle de Reading," inspired by Oscar Wilde's poem, and the nightmarish "Chant de folie." And this "shadow side" of Ibert's musical personality emerges too in his film music, as in the scores he wrote for Duvivier's Golgotha and Welles's Macbeth.
		Regrettably, much of the subtlety of Ibert's score was lost in the murk of Republic's garbled soundtrack; had it been better presented, it might well have put paid to the dismissive view of him as a skilled but conventional composer.

	Ibert Macbeth 8.557607 [GF]: Classical CD Reviews- August 2005 MusicWeb-International (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		As a young man Jacques Ibert wanted to be an actor and in his output as a composer there is a large amount of dramatic music: six operas, seven ballets, a dramatic cantata, incidental music for six stage works and four radio scores.
		Ibert himself obviously saw the potential for performing this music detached from the pictures, for he sent a letter to his publisher listing the cues in the Macbeth score that could be included in a suite, without any changes of the music.
		It is highly dramatic, Ibert paints the different moods almost tangibly and he uses a wide palette of instrumental colours with piano, celesta, vibraphone, harp and a lot of more or less exotic percussion instruments, added to the traditional symphony orchestra.

		The orchestral music of Ibert includes suites and extracts from his theatre music, among which the scores written for A Midsummer Night's Dream and for the Orson Welles film of Macbeth should be mentioned.

		He can hold his own against just about anything the orchestra throws at him (check out the finale), and this performance of Ibert's witty neo-classical essay is simply the last word in virtuosity and timbral richness combined with truly French finesse.
		Ibert's Pièce for Solo Flute makes for a delicious appetizer preceding the concerto.

		The inimitable sound of a top class French orchestra is clearly apparent in these recordings which have that jazzy trumpet as a constant leitmotif.

		Desormiere was also a dab hand at Russian music as this lovely recording of Ippolitov Ivanov's 'Caucasian Sketches' demonstrates.
