In Part Two of Within a Budding Grove , young Marcel falls under the spell of an enchanting group of adolescent girls. At first intoxicated by their beauty and athletic energy, he finds it difficult choose between them. But gradually he finds himself drawn to the beautiful Albertine - though without guessing how much she is to mean to him in the future. Within a Budding Grove is the second book of Marcel Proust's monumental, quasi-autobiographical novel Remembrance of Things Past . It was awarded the Prix Goncourt in 1919.

Music: D'Indy, Breton, Grieg, Faure, Ciurlionis

      In the second of the seven novels that make up Remembrance of Things Past, the young narrator, Marcel, and his grandmother visit the seaside resort of Balbec for his health. Neville Jason seamlessly portrays the parade of characters with subtle changes in inflection--whether Robert de Saint-Loup ("his head erect, perpetually balancing the movement of his limbs around the fugitive and dancing monocle") or Albertine Simenon ("her polo cap pulled down towards her plump cheeks"). In addition to selecting the lyrical piano interludes, Jason has shaped each scene in his clear, measured presentation so the irony, humor and richness of Proust's observations engage the listener intimately.
