"Repertoire here are all woodwind chamber works.With the idiomatic harmony of French music, these music is very, very charming and under a moony and romantic atmosphere. The performance and recording are both excellent.As this cd showes, I must say that Poulenc is absolutly an underrated composer. His oeuvre(especially melodies and chamber works) should be more famous. And I can not but waiting for the next cd of this series."

Fresh and delightful

"There's no need to cherry-pick--at six bucks a pop you can easily get all five of these Naxos releases of Poulenc's chamber music. You won't regret owning any of them. That said, this first disc in the series is the best. The music is light without being lightweight, melodious with a splash of early 20th century "modernism". And, at over an hour playing time, there is a lot of it. Pass the Pernod!"
