About this product

Francis Poulenc is not an easy composer to relate to. Not the man himself perhaps- though possibly that too- but his music. It is somehow dated. Here is a composer who produced his best works, all more or less completely tonal, at a time when Arnold Schoenberg was writing twelve-tone music and Poulenc's countrymen Oliver Messiaen and Pierre Boulez were into innovative rhythms, scales and techniques to lift the music out of the realm of subjective emotionalism. This features three concertos by Francis Poulenc. The Concerto for Organ, Strings and Timpani (1938) is considered to be the most popular and, perhaps, the most serious. The Piano Concerto (1949), a light concerto a wellspring of musical ideas, more or less brutally juxtaposed. The Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra (1932) lies perhaps somewhere between these two. Album Tracks 1. Concerto pour Piano et Orchestre~Allegretto 2. Concerto pour Piano et Orchestre~Andante con moto Commencer Très Calmement 3. Concerto pour Piano et Orchestre~Rondeau à la Française Presto Giocoso 4. Concerto en Ré Mineur pour Deux Pianos et Orchestre~Allegro ma non troppo 5. Concerto en Ré Mineur pour Deux Pianos et Orchestre~Larghetto 6. Concerto en Ré Mineur pour Deux Pianos et Orchestre~Finale 7. Concerto en Sol Mineur pour Orgue, Orchestre à Cordes et Timbales
