This is the fifth and final release in a series of the complete songs of Francis Poulenc, performed by a stellar cast of singers and soloists, accompanied by exceptional pianist Malcolm Martineau. Poulenc's songs, more than 150 works for piano and voice written over a period of 44 years, remain consistently popular to concert audiences the world over. Varying in their individual style and character in a way that defies generalization, he set music to a wide range of French poetry, both ancient and modern, from the serious to the surreal.
