I love Poulenc so much and think this is one of the best renditions of this piece❤❤❤. Awesome work

wonderful neo-classical mixture of Baroque and French folk music. Humorous and moving.

[@wissamboustany9027]

...absolutely right....thank you for your thoughts. Apart from the compositional style and structure, it is also a highly charged, daring and sensuous piece, pushing to the limits of emotion, while at the same time retaining a veneer of attractive and accessible melody. Genius.

Great job, Wissam! I like the music and performance! Bravo!

[@wissamboustany9027]

Thank you Olga. I miss you and hope all is going well with you and your students!

[@katehunt8029]

This is really exciting music. I'd never heard it before. Wonderful.

[@wissamboustany9027]

Yes...it is OUTRAGEOUS music....sensual, dangerous, ahead of its time...

love french piano music great work t y for posting

[@wissamboustany9027]

Poulenc is supreme...such defiance, sensuality, charm, wit, power and sadness - all wrapped up in matchless lyricism and structural beauty..

[@christopherrobertson7723]

What else have I been missing? Poulenc is a neglected composer on the radio.

[@wissamboustany9027]

He is certainly a neglected composer...difficult to him in a box...radical, accessible, challenging and traditional in equal measure
