About

One of the most prominent French conductors of his generation, Georges Prêtre (1924-2017) was celebrated for both opera and orchestral music. A former music director of the Paris Opéra, he has conducted the major orchestras of Europe and the USA. Before becoming Maria Callas's favourite conductor, he was also Francis Poulenc's one, who entrusted him with the premiere of many of his scores. This boxed set, which brings together each of Poulenc's works documented by Prêtre within EMI catalogue, shows the many facets of his music: sincere, spontaneous, moving and capable of astonishingly contrasting registers.
