POULENC MOST PLEASING:
This 2005 EMI Encore retread of multihued Poulenc piano music is a joy. Culled from recordings made by Tacchino as early as 1966 (and through the 80s), the near ideal compilation is a melodious, evocative, whimsical, vibrant homage to composer and performer alike, and, as such, succeeds marvelously. Tacchino's approach to these assorted works seems just right; his judgment, innate sensibility, insight and expressively open manner are all seductively spontaneous-sounding; and his charm, wit and eloquence are undeniably engaging. In his hands, there is timelessness about this music, an ambience, distinctly present, imminently satisfying. Production values, as well, merit an appreciative nod for succeeding not only in deliberately programming tracks as contrasted elements of Poulenc's varied emotional palette, but in also carefully monitoring the character and context of the sound and adding, thereby, those memorable gradations of tone and nuance, both acerbic and gentle, that color the music so characteristically. \oRunning time: 75:07\c
