Kjell Johnsen - Poulenc: Organ Concerto - Alain: Organ Suite (2016) [Hi-Res]

Francis Poulenc (January 7, 1899 - January 30, 1963) had his first major successes as an 18-year-old composer without a single composition lesson. Despite some study, he remained largely self-taught. In fact, his music is so individual, it's remained largely self-taught. In fact, his music is so individual; it's difficult to imagine what anyone could have taught him. The music is eminently tuneful – his major strength. He is regarded as a melodist fit to keep company with Franz Schubert and Wolfgang Mozart. As a French songwriter, he is the great successor to Fauré.
