The Piano Concerto Meets Hollywood : Poulenc's Piano Concerto Submitted by Jason Quintana on Sun, 2009-01-04 03:02
This is a newer piece of music to me. It plays a lot like an old Hollywood film score. The composer is French, but this piece of music sounds distinctly American.

Here's something ...
... a beautiful rendering of the WC by the pianist, who happens to be beautiful also, with the most out-of-tune orchestra you ever heard!
"I thought we agreed you
"I thought we agreed you wouldn't tell anyone! "
I assumed I would get that response but the line was too good to pass up.

"I pulled out of this about
"I pulled out of this about a third of the way through. Dribble and drivel."

What is this Warsaw concerto?
Poulenc not my cup of tea,
I don't get much out of Poulenc. Have actually performed him several times, and he's even worse for the other side of the music stand.
Don't start in on Delius, Linz! I'm related to him somehow...

Dribble! :-)
I pulled out of this about a third of the way through. Dribble and drivel. Reminded me of some Delius-type meandering nonsense. I repaired to the Warsaw Concerto for a quick fix.
