Notes and Editorial Reviews
The piquant charms of Poulenc shine through with James Levine at the piano accompanying the varied winds of the esteemed Ensemble Wien-Berlin for a scintillating hour-plus of lovely chamber music beautifully played.
[Karl Leister's] Poulenc Sonata with pianist James Levine is intimate and expressive. He also plays in a wonderful reading of Poulenc's Sextet in that recording, Levine and Ensemble Wien-Berlin.
