4.0 out of 5 stars SEE POULENC PLAY PIANO!, March 13, 2011

This review is from: Francis Poulenc and Friends / Denise Duval, Gabriel Bacquier, Maurice Gendron, Georges Pretre, Jean-Pierre Rampal (DVD)

How would you like to see Francis Poulenc play the piano? How about him playing the second part in this Duo Piano Concerto? Do you like the second movement, the slow one? Did you realize that melody is from a Mozart piano concerto? Look at Poulenc's hand position! With such huge hands he is still careful about rounding his fingers. Jacques Fevrier is playing the first part and his technique is flawless. How about Poulenc reading from his own sheet music?! - he doesn't know his own piano concerto by heart! Don't you wish you could have hung out with him? Gee, I have always heard he was lots of fun.

This is a wonderful DVD - if you like the music of Poulenc, it is a MUST HAVE.
