Sinfonietta

Available for over a year

Poulenc had few ideas about what to write when he accepted this commission. His love of Russian music came to the rescue though. Poulenc pours elements of Tchaikovsky and Stravinsky into the mix, and gave everything a good shake to create something unmistakably French. Composer: Francis Poulenc Performers: BBC Symphony Orchestra Conductor: Andrei Feher Recording date: 19 June 2019 Date of broadcast: 24 October 2019
