Description

“Francis Poulenc is music itself; I know no music that leads so directly and simply, so unerringly, to its goal.” This praise from Darius Milhaud can be applied to Poulenc’s entire body of work, but his chamber music especially embodies the compelling impulse to compose something immediate and unadulterated. Poulenc’s chamber music reflects the essence of his instantly recognizable and deeply personal style. The works collected here range from his early compositions as a member of the ‘Groupe des Six’ to his masterpieces and late sonatas.
