Poulenc was, at heart, a composer of vocal music. His songs represent one of the very greatest bodies of vocal music of the 20th century.

Excellent performances. Poulenc had a preference for wind instruments in his chamber music because, like the voice, they rely on human lungs.

An intriguing brief opera revolving around a woman's phone conversation where we don't hear the other end of the conversation. Felicity Lott is magnificent!
