5.0 out of 5 stars
A great collection of Poulenc's work!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Poulenc: Organ Concerto; Gloria; Sextuor; Concerto for 2 Pianos; Piano Concerto; Sonata for 2 Pianos; Concert Champetre (Audio CD)
This double-Cd set is a wonderful collection of work by the French composer. It has both of the remarkable piano concertos, the delightful Organ concerto, and the out-of-the-ordinary harpsichord concerto. A grand overview of this remarkable composer's incredible range and talent. For someone who was looking for a good place to start with Poulenc, this Cd is highly reccommendable. I was very impressed with this release!

Excellent program of delightful French music,

This review is from: Poulenc: Organ Concerto; Gloria; Sextuor; Concerto for 2 Pianos; Piano Concerto; Sonata for 2 Pianos; Concert Champetre (Audio CD)
I thought that this disc was excellent. This was my first Poulenc CD and I have to say that Poulenc is a fascinating composer. The Piano Concerto is quite lovely. I really enjoyed the Organ Concerto; the balance between orchestra and organ was excellent. The two-piano concerto had drive and was exciting throughout. The Concert Champetre was interesting for its use of the harpsichord, a instrument which really has its home in baroque music. I have only one problem with this disc. I think that the sound could be better. On the Concert Champetre, it is difficult to hear the harpsichord sometimes. The sound on the two-piano concerto is sufficient, but one could wish for even better sound. Other than that quibble, I thought the disc was great. It is difficult to find one CD set with this many different pieces by Poulenc, so it's welcomed. Four stars.

This review is from: Poulenc: Organ Concerto; Gloria; Sextuor; Concerto for 2 Pianos; Piano Concerto; Sonata for 2 Pianos; Concert Champetre (Audio CD)
Poulenc, Dutoit and Roget - an excellent combination for the Piano Concerto. George Malcolm on organ integrates well with the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields for the Organ Concerto. There is an enjoyable selection of Poulenc's varied moods and choices for expression on this double CD. The music is brought to life - with humor, joy, excitement, sadness, contemplation - smoothly integrated. Good sound quality.
