Info for Poulenc: Piano Music

Francis Poulenc (1899-1963) is one of the most remarkable French composers of the 20th century. Inspired by many (including Debussy, Satie and his fellow composers of the 'Groupe des Six'), he found his own formative voice, a unique blend of French cheerfulness and a deep, serious and sometimes melancholic feeling. This new recording presents a successful selection of Poulenc's piano works: the Trois Mouvements Perpétuels, Huit Nocturnes, Villageoises, Trois Novelettes, the Suite Napoli and two waltzes - music of great charm, seductive, touching and intimate or exuberant and cheerful. The soloist is pianist Chiara Cipelli, whose recordings for Piano and Brilliant Classics with works by Bettinelli and Messiaen have received excellent reviews in the international press.
