Thank you for posting this, a beautiful piece of music

@netherledy The video is a disgrace... I was learning how to do it, sorry... I believe I can do better now... :-)

[netherledy]

@nadaniente115a I bought the sheet music for my wife yesterday, as your video reminded us of the lovely piano music that Poulenc wrote. I liked the pictures a lot, but I did wonder if they were all French scenes.

[nadaniente115a]

@netherledy No, no, at least some of the painters are British (pre-raphaelites) and even Italians maybe, I need to check... Cézanne is French, as you know.

@nadaniente115a I thought that I recognised some pre-raphaelites, the painting of the girl leaning over the fence wearing a blue dress is lovely, but I don't recall seeing it before.

They call my daughter 'The lady of Shalott' - because her hair and complexion is the same style and colour as the painting. :)

@netherledy Unfortunately I have not been able until now to find the reference for the painting you mention. Sorry about that! :-) If I happen to find it I will let you know. It could be someone like De Blaas too but no, it seems that it is not.

Pascal Roge is one hell of an awesome bloody pianist.

Francis Poulenc is one of the best composers of the 20th Century. A shame he isn't heard more often

What a charming piece, so typically French in style.
