Francis Poulenc is now considered to be among the most important composers of choral music of the 20th
Century. Yet his early career reveals no trace of the dazzling and idiosyncratic unaccompanied choral
textures so abundantly produced in the second half of his life.
This new collection of Poulenc’s choral works, virtually a ‘best of’, is centered on his masterwork, Figure
Humaine. Even though it is only 20 minutes in length, the work is a supreme test of stamina, technical
agility, range, aural skill and musicianship. The professional chamber choir Tenebrae (directed by former
King’s Singer Nigel Short) are more than capable of tackling this repertoire and this disc promises to provide
a new benchmark in interpretations of the work.
This disc follows from December 2009’s well received Christmas album What Sweeter Music (SIGCD182)
"The survey of Poulenc's choral works by Nigel Short and his superb 33-voice choir is inevitably dominated by.. Figure Humaine,not only one of Poulenc's greatest achievements, but one of the 20th century's most extraordinary choral pieces"
Andrew Clements, Guardian
