Poulenc: Piano Music

Cipelli, Chiara

PCL 10217

Francis Poulenc (1899-1963) is one of the most remarkable French composers of the 20th century. Inspired by many (Debussy, Satie, his fellow composers of the “Groupe des Six”) he found his essential own voice, a unique blend of French gaiety and a deep, serious and sometimes melancholic feeling.

This new recording presents a fine selection of piano music by Poulenc: the Trois Mouvements Perpétuels, Huit Nocturnes, Villageoises, Trois Novelettes, Napoli Suite and two Waltzes, music of great charm, seductive, touching and intimate, or exuberant and jolly.

Played by Chiara Cipelli, whose recordings for Piano and Brilliant Classics with works by Bettinelli (BC95801) and Messiaen (PCL10200) received excellent reviews in the international press.
