Francis Poulenc - Complete Chamber Works
London Conchord Ensemble
Poulenc
Sonata for Oboe and Piano
Trio for Oboe, Bassoon and Piano
Sextet for Piano and Winds
“The ensemble clicks perfectly, the playing seemingly effortless and a regard for precision never stifling the musicians’ natural feeling for life and breath.”
“No longeurs on these excellent discs: Poulenc’s invention is always sprightly, and the performers are vivified by it; though an outstanding item is the Elegie for Horn and Piano, in memory of Dennis Brain.”
“This is an extremely enjoyable set of Poulenc’s chamber music...certainly on of the best around...”
“Above all, these performances show a joyous and intimate involvement with this immensely rewarding music, and I think Poulenc would have approved.”
“Even if you already own one or another Poulenc chamber music collection, this one should definitely be on your to-buy list. ”

“This program embodies what I love about opera and music so much. It runs a wide spectrum of emotions depicted in music, from nonchalance to determination, from the carefree joy in the simple pleasures to the pursuit of forbidden love and seduction. It’s all here.”
