Not to say that I doubt that it is authentic but there is no documentation provided.<br /><br />The Library of Congress does publish a record of this premiere performance. It was recorded live in concert on Jan 21, 1961 in Symphony Hall, Boston. Link to the LOC listing:<br /><br />http://lccn.loc.gov/2002658427<br /><br />There was not a contemporary BSO commercial recording so the only record of the Boston premiere performance is the radio broadcast.<br /><br />The Poulenc Gloria was commissioned by the Kousevitzsky Foundation for Munch and the Boston Symphony. It was composed in 1959-60. Poulenc was in attendance at the Munch/Boston rehearsals and performance and apparently served as piano accompanist to the chorus in choral rehearsals as well as playing piano in another work on the program.<br /><br />On Feb 14, 1961 the Paris premiere was performed at Salle Wagran with The French National Radio Television Orchestra, George Pretre, conducting and Rosanna Cartieri, soprano. It was recorded the next day (Feb. 15, 1961) with the same personnel and released on LP as Columbia SAX2445. Again Poulenc was involved in the rehearsals and recording. There is an excellent transfer to digital format of this wonderful recording by Pristine classical here:<br /><br />http://www.pristineclassical.com/LargeWorks/Orchestral/PASC324.php<br /><br />HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.fluteguynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352424132660671525.post-44800210332192079072011-12-02T20:55:46.108-05:002011-12-02T20:55:46.108-05:00Harrison, the first mediafire link

I sang with the CpM for many years (although not in the Poulenc - I was only six at the time) and have many friends who sang that concert. The composer was indeed in the hall for the concerts, one of which was almost canceled because of a blizzard. Poulenc served, at least to some extent, as the accompanist for Munch's chorus rehearsal; Alfred Nash Patterson (known as "Bud"), who founded and conducted CpM, recalled that Poulenc's hands were huge and that he could get an enormous sound out of the instrument. Poulenc was accompanied by his good friend Marlene Dietrich, and in fact somewhere in the CpM files is a photograph of Bud Nash Patterson standing with Dietrich and looking very pleased.David Friezenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352424132660671525.post-39538259752861867002009-04-05T04:39:00.000-04:002009-04-05T04:39:00.000-04:00Thank you.

He also presents the gorgeous of the everyday workers, their heart, resilience and 'simple gifts'. I hear that in the Gloria, but framed in more ecclesiastic garb, and so that is the inference I follow.Guillermohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03349575322038597647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352424132660671525.post-64488729100411502422009-03-25T11:56:00.000-04:002009-03-25T11:56:00.000-04:00@glebowski: Sorry for the frustrations with downlo...@glebowski: Sorry for the frustrations with downloading there.
