It is always good to hear the music of Francis Poulenc (1899-1963). On this MSR Classics disc The Iowa Ensemble, who are - Nicole Esposito, flute and piccolo, Mark Weiger, oboe, Maurita Marx, clarinet, Benjamin Coelho, bassoon, Kristin Thelander, French horn and Alan Huckleberry, piano, play all the music that Poulenc composed for various combinations of these instruments.

Expect, Sonatas, a Trio, a Sextet and two strange haunting pieces - Villanelle for Piccolo and Piano and Elegy for French Horn and Piano that Poulenc composed in memory of Dennis Brain, celebrated first horn of the Philharmonia Orchestra, killed in a motoring accident.

Lovely music, lovely playing and with a photo of Poulenc in the booklet your listeners will feel as though he is listening alongside!
