Poulenc / Damgaard

Description:

Poulenc played by the Danish master, Jon Damgaard! This album is the follow-up to "Beethoven, Chopin, Brahms" (DACOCD910) by Danish pianist Jon Damgaard (b.1941). Damgaard once played Poulenc's "Sextet" in front of Nadia Boulanger when he was a student. I asked for help because I was uncertain how to handle the subject matter, which was mundane to varying degrees." Boulanger told me that Poulenc had a solid sense of humor, and that the extreme seriousness with which he presented it brought out even more humor. So you have to treat Poulenc's music with the same attitude. Always serious." In this new collection, the musicians perform pieces such as "Rural Poems" from 1928, which Damgaard considered one of Poulenc's most beautiful pieces; "Melancholy," written in August 1940, three months after the German occupation of Paris; and "Eight Nocturnes," composed between 1929 and 1938, and performed in the same year by the composer himself. composed between 1929 and 1938.
