|
In full neoclassic mode as in the opening bars of 'Les Biches,' Francis Poulenc sounds quite a bit like Igor Stravinsky. (It's the predominance of wind instruments and the careful attention to instrumental voicing.) He shifts modes easily, and the shadow of Stravinsky disappears as smoothly as it came. Poulenc has often been taken to be a composer of trifles, of light music. His elegance and wit came at a time when music had to be profound and atonal to be taken seriously. Yet in Paris between the wars, Poulenc's music fared well. Each of his works is an evocative, tuneful jewel, unabashedly tonal yet filled with inventive chromatic turns. Most of the music presented here is dance music in one way or another: 'Les Biches,' and 'Les Animaux modèles' are ballet suites, and most of the short pieces are from collaborative ballet scores. 'Aubade' is a "choreographic concerto" for piano and eighteen instruments. Conductor Charles Dutoit, pianist Pascal Rogé, and the Orchestre National de France are experienced Poulenc interpreters who have recorded most of his music, and Poulenc's tuneful ballets could hardly ask for more devoted exponents. |
