Our Take

Manchester Camerata and conductor John Andrews take on Poulenc's charming and whimsical Le Gendarme Incompris, along with a selection of other works that showcase the composer's unique blend of playfulness and poignancy.

From the opening notes of Le Gendarme Incompris, it's clear that Manchester Camerata are in their element, bringing a lively energy and a sense of mischief to Poulenc's music. The orchestra's nimble playing and Andrews' deft direction ensure that each piece sparkles with wit and charm.

Highlights of the album include the hauntingly beautiful Sarabande for Guitar and Orchestra, which features a mesmerizing solo performance by guitarist Craig Ogden, and the lively and spirited Sinfonietta, which showcases the orchestra's versatility and precision.

Throughout the album, Manchester Camerata and Andrews demonstrate a deep understanding of Poulenc's music, capturing both its light-heartedness and its depth. The ensemble's dynamic range and expressive phrasing bring out the emotional nuances of the music, creating a truly captivating listening experience.

Overall, Manchester Camerata and John Andrews deliver a delightful and engaging performance of Poulenc's music, breathing new life into these timeless works. Fans of the composer and newcomers alike will find much to love in this expertly crafted and exuberant album.
