Celebrating Poulenc with friend and author @carolinefrmus.bsky.social on his birthday #poulenc #botd we must make a tradition of this!

Great to see this recognition of British composer Guirne Creith (1907-96). I’m fortunate enough to be in touch with her son - he and his brother knew nothing about the violin concerto until this score was found. Apparently there’s another recording coming out next year. It’s really worth a listen

Happy Christmas everyone!
