About the album

Composing over 150 works for piano and voice over a period of 44 years, the songs of Francis Poulenc remain consistently popular to concert audiences the world over. Varying in their individual style and character in a way that defies generalisation, Poulenc set his music to a wide range of French poetry – both ancient and modern, and from the serious to the surreal.

This release marks the first in a new series charting the complete songs of Francis Poulenc, performed by some of the greatest singers of the day and accompanied by the exceptional Malcolm Martineau. Future releases will feature several works that have never before been recorded.

Gevarieerde liederen uitgevoerd door de grootste zangers
Francis Poulenc componeerde meer dan 150 werken voor piano en zang over een periode van 44 jaar en zijn liederen blijven populair bij het concertpubliek van over de hele wereld. Hij had een zeer gevarieerde individuele stijl en een veelzijdig karakter en componeerde muziek voor een brede selectie van Franse poëzie – zowel oude als moderne, en zowel serieuze als surrealistische.

Dit album is de eerste in een serie die de complete liederen van Poulenc omvat, uitgevoerd door een aantal van de grootste zangers van deze tijd en begeleid door de exceptionele Malcolm Martineau. Andere albums in deze serie bevatten een aantal werken die nog nooit eerder zijn opgenomen.

Francis Poulenc

Francis Jean Marcel Poulenc was a French composer and pianist. Poulenc's wealthy family intended him for a business career in the Rhone Poulenc family company and did not allow him to enrol at a music college. Largely self-educated musically, he studied with the pianist Ricardo Viñes, who became his mentor after the composer's parents died. Poulenc soon came under the influence of Erik Satie, under whose tutelage he became one of a group of young composers known collectively as Les Six. This group of French composers from the 1920s aimed to clear music of the impressionism of Claude Debussy, and German influences such as the Romanticism of Richard Wagner and Richard Strauss.

This group of French composers from the 1920s aimed to clear music of the impressionism of Claude Debussy, and German influences such as the Romanticism of Richard Wagner and Richard Strauss. Their motto was "L'art pour l'art": they composed music for the sake of music, without any 'meaning' or extramusical intents. In his early works Poulenc became known for his high spirits and irreverence. During the 1930s a much more serious side to his nature emerged, particularly in the religious music he composed from 1936 onwards, which he alternated with his more light-hearted works.
