Reviews
'Read within the context of his own distinctive tone of voice, Poulenc's comments take on a totally fresh hue in a book that is much more than simply a catechism for singers, but rather a revevealingly idiomatic self-portrait, redolent of the Parisian boulevards and artistic salons, childhood memories, melancholy rainy afternoons, or the invigorating bitterness of a flower once plucked and munched in the surroundings of the Grande Chartreuse.' - Robert Henderson, The Daily Telegraph
