After Matelots came Les Biches, which Poulenc claims to have completely revised and re-orchestrated. In fact it is just as it was before: a bit of tango, a little something filched from Beethoven, a slice of Life for the Tsar. A dilettante - that is the definition of Poulenc, and his ballet was thrown into stark relief alongside Matelots, which is the work of a master and succeeded in sinking its companion without trace. One image, only one, of Les Biches will remain, and that is the seductive silhouette of Nemchinova*. |
