"Beware Amazon's header, this is not the complete Poulenc piano music, just the four hand/duo stuff.
But, luckily, it is an excellent survey, by far the best of recent vintage. Tanyel and Brown, not soloists on their day off but a true piano team, are totally sensitive to Poulenc's mixture of elan and tenderness. They get the saucy bounce of the little early sonata, the stark profundity of the later, greater one, and the time-stands-still sighing of the wonderful Elegie.
And, as is not often the case, the two pianos are well recorded, sounding present but pleasant in a large room acoustic."
