EnglishFrançais

Tu vois le feu du soir, cast in Éluard’s favourite litany form, is another love song—a hymn of praise musically translated into a gentle rhythm as immutable as the poet’s devotion. This is music which shows Poulenc’s strongly idealistic side: there is no room in the Éluard settings for lightweight caprice.
