"... the Sonata for Four hands receives an idiomatic performance, with the two pianists, wife and husband, being totally in sync. Three Novelettes ... receives an extremely fine performance. The 15 Improvisations, where Poulenc is at his most inventive, show Chung at her very best, especially in her rhythmic attack in the faster sections ..." ****

"... the Concerto is the standout, gliding seamlessly between ferocity, biting irony, melting beauty and sheer magic. Bon appétit!"

"Another Signum issue well worthy of your attention features the husband and wife duo Alessio Bax and Lucille Chung. Here, for the first time on disc, she takes the lead, playing some of Poulenc’s solo piano music, and is then joined by her husband for some piano duet, and two piano pieces. The 50th anniversary of Poulenc’s death in 2013 passed almost without notice, which is sad, because Poulenc is one of the most captivating composers, with, as Stravinsky once said, “The greatest melodic gift of any 20th century composer. This is an interesting combination of the familiar and the unfamiliar. The Novelettes are quite well known, the 15 Improvisations, not so. For me the most attractive piece here is Poulenc’s own arrangement for two pianos of his Concerto for two pianos. The slow movement alone is worth the price of this exceptional disc."
