1. how you come across to it:
It's a frequent piece on my iPod.
2. why this piece?
Many are familiar with the somber yet graceful melody. Detailing the piece will reveal that Poulenc has put a lot of intriguing orchestrations to the music. Despite the fact that the orchestra is occassionally heavy and pompous, Poulenc masterfully manages the instruments into a weaving and colourful support. This is illustrious.
I think that's why I like this more than the Gloria. I think many would agree.
3. (and...)
On my iPod there's a Naxos version conducted by Michel Piquemal. This is pleasant.
