A post here in 2015 by " piston " very helpful re:the Poulenc Violin Sonata;thanks !

" Poulenc's chamber music is really excellent. Composers used different genres for different artistic purposes and, for Poulenc, chamber music was not always an occasion to be "light" about composition. There are five volumes of his complete chamber music on Naxos and none of it includes a string quartet. His chamber music is like a musical autobiography, from the light Histoire de Babar, for children, to the more somber Sonata for violin and piano written in occupied Paris in memory of Spanish poet Frederico Garcia Lorca and performed there in 1943, with Ginette Neveu and Poulenc at the piano. That's a bold political work when you know the whole context. "

I've long admired Poulenc's chamber music, especially his sonatas for flute/piano, oboe/piano and clarinet/piano, and of course the violin sonata. Not easy music and highly original, they speak to this confirmed francophile with supreme urgency. Here's a recording I recommend:

Same here, and as to almost all his music. I do have that Naxos cd, and join your recommendation.

Julia Fischer is quite a phenomenon. I've got several of her recordings, and find her an extraordinarily gifted player. Thanks for posting this recital: it lives up to the very high standards of her recordings. The Poulenc is a favorite of mine; the Faure was a new piece for me, actually, while the Schubert is an old friend.
