About
The acclaimed pianist Mark Bebbington marks his Resonus Classics debut, and the start of a new French music series, with a major new recording of works by Francis Poulenc. Joined by conductor Jan Latham-Koenig, and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, this varied programme of works for piano features the Piano Concerto (the last of his five concertos) and the rarely-recorded piano version of the Concert champêtre so often performed by Poulenc himself. Bebbington is also joined by oboist John Roberts and bassoonist Jonathan Davies for the Trio for Piano, Oboe & Bassoon, and the Sonata for Oboe & Piano.

[Oboe Sonata] their expressive yet understated performance is the highlight of an attractive, well played, and beautifully recorded disc.
June 2020
A recording rich in sensual gratification and intellectual nourishment….Bebbington, Latham-Koenig and the RPO players are so focused on pointing up every expressive moment of these richly allusive concertos, the first and last Poulenc would write, that both emerge as strikingly vivid, despite their myriad subtleties.
March 2020
Bebbington’s quickness of delivery, his nimble-fingeredness and his lively approach to Poulenc’s witty outbursts serve the Piano Concerto well … the joy of music-making is always evident
8th March 2020
Instead of grand, virtuosic gestures, the piece skips from one playful idea to another, never taking itself too seriously...Bebbington captures the mood perfectly, with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra on sparkling form.
