Silvan de Smit: F. Poulenc - Sarabande

Composed in 1960, this exquisite piece is one of Poulenc's lesser-known works for solo guitar. The enigmatic "Sarabande" showcases the composer's predilection for intertwining elements of the Baroque with a touch of modernism, resulting in a tapestry of harmonic complexity and emotional depth.

As a cornerstone of 20th-century French music, Poulenc was a member of Les Six, a group of composers who sought to diverge from the prevailing Romantic and Impressionist conventions of the time, opting instead for a more direct, unpretentious style.

Allow Silvan's interpretation of Poulenc's "Sarabande" to transport you to a realm where the poignancy of the past melds with the vibrancy of the present.
