Music reviews of Poulenc: Sacred & Secular Choral Works
Music Review: I Will Nevertheless Give It Another Go
Rating: 2 Stars
Needless to say, I haven't given this album enough time. Actually, I haven't given Poulenc or even French music as a whole enough time. The first time I heard these two CDs, I thought I must have the two mixed up as the secular sounds more sacred to my ears whereas the secular is sacred enough! Didn't Tortelier, one of the century's greatest cellists, advised his students to stay away from French music albeit the reason given was the audience like Mozart and Beethoven more? Perhaps I also fall within this category...
There is nothing wrong with the recording it is actually quite nice. But the voices are all quite outstanding from the rest! I have heard some foreigners singing Poulenc quite differently. Perhaps the latter was not exactly a French reading, for I have heard some French Baroque music by Couperin and some French organ music that sound like them. Or, perhaps I have been listening to too much Brahms' chorales lately getting too serious in terms of taste. And in any event, despite my love for Debussy, Ravel, Faure... I don't know what to make out of this album-- at least not as yet. Perhaps I just need to give them some more time: this is a French choir singing their own music after all!
