I loved the spiritedness of the interpretation, totally appropriate for Poulenc. Both the faster and slower tempos of the first movement may have been a tad exaggerated, but the rest of the piece was perfectly paced. In the keyboard, I'm not sure I agree with the staggering between the left and right hand and rolled chords in slower passages, expressive touches that fall into the less-is-more side. All the players have a solid sense of ensemble, and I expect they will have terrific careers. Thanks for posting!
