- a combination of solo performances by renowned Canadian pianist Lucille Chung performing Poulenc's Improvisations and Novelettes, also featuring performances with Alessio Bax as the Bax Chung Piano Duo performing the Sonata for four hands and the Concerto for two pianos
Canadian pianist Lucille Chung is admired for her “stylish and refined performances.” (Gramophone Magazine) She first appears as a soloist on this release with Poulenc’s Improvisations, Novelettes and L’embarquement pour Cythere, before being joined by her duo partner and husband, Alessio Bax. Poulenc was not only an incredible composer, but also a virtuosic pianist. His style is characterized by color and clarity, and he is considered by many to be the finest French song composer since Faure.
