Poulenc heard Apollinaire reading his poetry in Paris and immortalised him in his songs. Here Holger Falk and his Italian piano accompanist Alessandro Zuppardo reacquaint us with the poet’s impressive words in their musical settings.

Falk has made a name for himself as a highly expressive song interpreter and Zuppardo has specialized in song accompaniment, so these works are in expert hands.
