Description
With his extensive Lieder output, Francis Poulenc (1899 - 1963) made one of the most beautiful, important, and varied contributions to this genre in the 20th century.
When soaring and sparkling French esprit, brilliant melodies and firework displays of colours and harmonies which encompass all possible moods, from meditative stillness to exuberant gaiety and frivolity are virtuosically combined, you hear the sophisticated poetry of his celebrated contemporaries like Apollinaire and Eluard here. An incomparably sonorous countenance.
With this album, pianist and singer Matthias Veit presents a kaleidoscope of several of the composer's most popular song cycles. A simultaneous balancing act between voice and keyboard!
