In part 1 (26/8/14) we met Jean Cras: a French high marine officer (1879-1932) who spent all of his free time composing. His style is somewhere between Franck, Duparc, Chausson, Debussy and Ravel. In 1922 he was in the spotlights thanks to the jubilant success of the opera Polyphème. Nowadays he seems to have been forgotten, which does not do him justice.
