Exclusively available in Stereo Pure DSD 256 at NativeDSD. "Poulenc's piano works, like his other works, have always captivated me, both with their unrelenting honesty and their fearless formal certainty. Poulenc is brilliant at taking his listeners from one emotion to another, often without any transition. Poulenc's language is often glibly described as ‘light’ even by the musical public. But this view is only correct to the extent that one can objectively observe his personal life from within the palpable proximity of danger. This ‘predatory’ gaze pervades the French composer's work. The unvarnished honesty of Poulenc's music, which brilliantly blends tradition and progression, makes it astonishingly direct for all of us." László Borbély, Piano
