There is usually more to Poulenc than meets the ear --- always accessible, usually immediately enjoyable, and yet never commonplace or predictable. His wonderful music often (as here) alludes to the music of past composers, but it still seems fresh and original. The ghost of the March from Tchaikovsky's Pathetique is lurking in the 2nd movement, combined with a gorgeous legato tune. And what a great recording and performance! Many thanks.
I didn't care much for it at first, despite enthusiastic comments from my conductor and other players, but through repeated listenings it's grown on me.
Poulenc is a composer that gets better more music you know: I am a student and at first i was weirded out by poulenc, but the more to different music(not his), the more i feel like i love him more and more. It is incredible how much varied style poulenc from his choral works to his fun concerto champetre while being weirdly coherent and true to himself. now it is at the point that i am sure that he is my favorite composer.
1st movement 0:01 begins | 3:27 flute moment | 2nd movement (Molto Vivace) 8:19 begins | 13:40 moment | 3rd movement (Andante Cantabile) 14:13 begins | 16:39 touching | 26:34 Toy Story moment
Merci pour le plaisir rare d'entendre ce compositeur exquis que fut Francis Poulenc ,dont l'oeuvre est interprétée ici avec bonheur, dans toute sa fraicheur originelle.
The best version on TH-cam ever! It's brisk - especially iv - but shapely, and I love the 2nd violinist who's clearly taken by the work's impish humor. Many thanks from the U.S., and I hope the maestro and all the musicians have stayed well since the performance.
Love this piece. It has a subtitle from the composer, "Farewell to youth," reflecting fondly on childhood with snatches of kids rhymes. The ending starting a few seconds before 27 minutes is one of the most bittersweet of any score like this.
NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester, Paavo Järvi und Poulenc - eine echte Offenbarung!!! Meiner Meinung nach ist dies die beste Interpretation dieser bewundernswerten Sinfonietta auf TH-cam!!!
La "douceur angevine" ,le fil de l'eau, et, l'éclat des scintillements de lumière sur le cour de la Loire, des hauts de colline de ses rives sauvages ,surplombant les ilots de sable. Comment ne pas se laisser deriver dans ces flux musical et ce grand chef, pas seulement d'orchestre, nous fait déguster ces filets fuyant tout en saveurs joyeuses du compositeur. C'est la confrérie des grands, grands amateurs du flot émotif, trempé qu'il est, lui , finlandais de ces univers aquatiques des lacs en étendues si-belliusiens.
Lebhafte und wunderschöne Aufführung dieser modernen und fein komponierten Sinfoniette mit gut vereinigten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Instrumente. Der dritte Satz klingt besonders schön und echt lyrisch. Der unvergleichliche Dirigent leitet das hoch funktionelle Orchester in verschiedenen Tempi und mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Einfach faszinierend!

Thank you so much! What a beautiful comment. :)
aha. I hear snatches of kids folk songs since it is subtitled "Farewell to Youth" Bittersweet Nostalgia. Can't return. But can in memory. CHEERS!
Very well-said, Adrian!

Sounds like the inside of my head
So wistful! But not melancholic!

Not a piece I've ever heard before - thanks for including it. It shows how much interesting music stays relatively unperformed.
Yay! That's one of our duties, we feel, that come with the privilege: to set the stage for lesser known works.

What a joy to discover: so accessible.
Thank you! Glad you joined us!
Beautifully interpreted. And wonderfully heart felted, the two gentle sides that of the orchestra and the conductor in harmonious collaboration.
Thank you very much.
