This recording marks the debut recording of the new principal conductor of the RSO Stuttgart, Stéphane Denève.

He has achieved some fantastic reviews here in the UK so we welcome him to the Haenssler label with open arms! The release presents a well-balanced program which shows both sides of Poulenc ’s compositions.

The recording has excellent artists including soprano Marlis Petersen who is a regular guest on the Metropolitan Opera, and is accompanied by the SWR Vokalensemble, and the NDR Choir Poulenc’s Stabat mater is one of the greatest sacred choral works of the 20th century and is released at a perfect time of year.
