This new collection of Poulenc's choral works is centered on his masterwork, the Figure humaine. Even though it is only 20 minutes in length, the work is a supreme test of stamina, technical agility, range, aural skill and musicianship. The professional chamber choir Tenebrae (directed by former King's Singer Nigel Short) are more than capable of tackling this repertoire, and this album promises to provide a new benchmark in interpretations of the work.
