A funny thing happened on the way to the Forum

Seriously, though - are they?

Well, I'm particularly fond of Debussy's and Ravel's works for solo piano, and the latter's String Quartet and Piano Trio, and I'm working my way into Faure's chamber works. Some of Poulenc's and Saint-Saens's chamber works, especially those for woodwind, are also well crafted and make for very pleasurable listening.

And teamsaint is busy listening to Poulenc's Chamber music, according to his latest post!

Then may I take this opportunity of welcoming you aboard a thread I initiated on modern French composers overlooked by the BBC and other institutions in this country, some time ago? As well as introducing several composers of the interwar years - those roughly contemporary with Messiaen - I have provided links to examples of their music found on Youtube.

Stanfordian’s latest classical choices suggest he is in and I like much French music and French sounding orchestras!

Oh, I was just trying to look cool and on - message.
I actually had 100 greatest hits of the 70s playing.

A couple of french ones in there, Plastic Bertrand etc.
