Poulenc: Complete Chamber Music

There are 20 separate works on this, the most complete set yet released of Poulenc’s chamber music. No single movement is more than a few minutes long and yet the sequence adds up to an absorbing narrative which takes us from the 20-year-old enfant terrible of 1920s Paris to the penultimate year of his life, with three masterfully written, unusually reflective wind sonatas. Composer: Francis Poulenc Artists: Matteo Fossi piano, Marco Gaggini piano, Federica Ferrati piano, Duccio Ceccanti violin, Vittorio Ceccanti cello, Domenico Orlando oboe, Andrea Zucco bassoon, Claudia Bucchini flute, Calogero Palermo clarinet
