I want to admit I did not know Poulenc , and now thanks to you I’m hooked! and going into CD purchase frenzy to collect what I can get! Thank you for all time and thoughts you pour into those Videos, really insightful and let us expand our horizons beyond standard repertoire
about charles dutoit....did you know? since his harassment story began a few years ago, canadian radio stations are no longer allowed to say his name when they broadcast one of his recordings on the airwaves, this morning for example he was presenting his recording of the nutcracker on cbc radio, and at the end the host simply said....''it was the first act of tchaikovsky's nutcracker ballet performed by the montreal symphony orchestra.....'' (end)

My favourite Poulenc piece is Gloria
You’re in good company.
I sang Gloria at university (in common with many others, of course) and remember it well. 'Still a favourite.

That's ridiculous. They should say "performed by the Montreal Symphony Orchestra being molested by Charles Dutoit."
