Francis Poulenc

  • #ClassicsaDay #Classical1922 Week 4

    Jan 28th, 2022 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #Classical1922, #ClassicsaDay, Francis Poulenc, Manuel Infante, Ottorino Respighi, Paul Hindemith, Twitter, William Walton

    For January 2022 the Classics a Day Team decided to go back a century. The challenge this month is to post classical works associated with the year 1922. It can be a composition that was completed,  published, or premiered that year. It can even be a work recorded for the first time in 1922. It […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #ClassicalChristmas Week 3

    Dec 20th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicalChristmas, #ClassicsaDay, Arnold Schoenberg, Classical music, Francis Poulenc, Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, Johannes Obrecht, John Knowles Paine, Twitter

    This marks the third year running that the Classics a Day team made Christmas music the December theme. I guess that makes it a tradition. When it comes to the music of the season, there’s plenty to choose from. Since the 1100s composers have written sacred music for Advent and Christmas — and plenty of […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #ClassicalWinter Week 3

    Jan 18th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicalWinter, #ClassicsaDay, Classical music, Einojuhani Rautavaara, Emile Waldteufel, Francis Poulenc, Georgy Sviridov, Henry Purcell, Twitter

    For January 2019, #ClassicsaDay went with a winter theme. December’s theme, #ClassicalChristmas centered around sacred works of the season. #ClassicalWinter is about sharing secular compositions. that have a snow or winter theme.  Here are my Classical Winter posts for the third week of January. Georgy Sviridov “Waltz” and “March,” from “Snow Storm” Sviridov’s 1975 work […]

  • Dionne Jackson’s Love Letter

    May 15th, 2017 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Albert Roussel, Bridge Records, CD Review, Chamber music, Classical music, Claude Debussy, Dionne Jackson, Francis Poulenc, Henri Dutilleaux, Marija Stroke, Romantic period

    Parisian Inspirations is the kind of recital recording I like — one where the artist has a personal connection with every work. In the liner notes Dionne Jackson writes, “I feel a direct lineage to every composer chosen for this CD, many of my Professors at the Conservatoire had either known or studied with these […]

  • Aleck Karis plays Poulenc with humor and wit

    Jun 29th, 2016 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Aleck Karis, Bridge Records, CD Review, Classical music, Francis Poulenc, piano

    Aleck Karis delivers some fine performances of Francis Poulenc’s piano music with this release. Karis plays with a lightness of tone and just the right amount of emotional restraint to make these works sound absolutely charming. And Karis pays just as much attention to the program. The works aren’t arranged chronologically, but rather in a […]

  • Respighi – Lauda per la Nativitá del Signore

    Dec 9th, 2015 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Carus, CD Review, choral music, Christmas music, contemporary classical music, Francis Poulenc, Günther Raphael, Heinrich Kaminksi, Kristrine Larissa Funkhauser, Krystian Adam, Maris Sirmais, Michael Preaetorius, Morten Lauridsen, Nicolas Fink, Ottorino Respighi, Polyphonia Ensemble Berlin, Rundfunkchor Berlin, Sven-David Sandstrôm, Yeree Suh

    Now this is my kind of Christmas album. While all the works were written for the season, they aren’t part of the classical Christmas top 40 (with one exception — sort of). And they’re all beautifully performed and recorded. The Rundfunkchor Berlin has a rich, creamy sound with an almost seamless blend of voices. The […]
