Edit
  • Trivia
    The son of an industrial magnate, Poulenc never had to work for a living and was once dubbed "the rich playboy of French music". He waged a lifelong battle against the indolence his independent wealth afforded him; those who knew him said it was a miracle he accomplished as much as he did.
