This is a delightful record. Francis Poulenc was a composer who commanded many different styles, and these 31 songs are so well chosen for variety of length, weight, mood, and character that no two of them are alike, although some are connected through their poets or subject matter. In Four Children's Songs, poems that begin innocently become scary; they are set to music of utmost simplicity. There are outpourings of ardent passion, tenderness, joy, sorrow, longing, and nostalgia, as well as sarcastic parodies, jazzy cabaret songs, and one setting of Shakespeare in English. The performances are wonderful. White's bright, light tenor is just right for this music; he brings out every nuance and inflection with complete idiomatic identification, and his diction is perfect. Sanders, his long-time partner, provides both support and leadership, setting moods in his preludes and sustaining them in his postludes--the mark of a great accompanist. --Edith Eisler

Customer Reviews of Voyage à Paris: Songs of Francis Poulenc
At least it's Poulenc Being a tenor, I know I am harsh on other voices - especially those that are stringy, strident, strained, sickly - pick an "s".
Poor Robert White should be singing lower rep at this point, his voice is really not suited to the range of some of these songs... and we all know they weren't even written for tenors... oh well - the pianist is good, Mr. White's performance isn't terrible, it's just not nice.
