Secular choral music (Nederlands Kamerkoor; Ericsson) (1999)

'It is without a doubt the best recording the choir ever made. Both CD's (Sacred Choral Music en Secular Choral Music, AB) received rave reviews in the French press when they first appeared. Under the inspiring direction of Eric Ericson the choir gives unearthly performances. This reissue is a true monument for the artistry of Poulenc. The absolute peak on this CD is the recording of La figure humaine a piece Poulenc wrote to a text by Paul Eluard who depicts the horrors of war and the universal longing for freedom: Liberté!.
