Francis Poulenc in May 1958 (Source Getty)
Quote from Poulenc (to a friend) "Give me good food, a glass of red, and Debussy on the radio - then I can compose without complaint."
Poulenc adored French Cheese, particularly Camembert and often referenced Camembert in letters - sometimes humorously!
He was no stranger to good Burgundy or Bordeaux, and he often wrote of the pleasure of fine wine accompanying a meal or rehearsal.
