Mark--

Check out other available recordings. Although Leister's recording are
generally excellent, his overall performance style (sound technique, etc.)
lends itself better to the German/central European repertoire (IMHO!). If
you would like suggestions, please e-mail me at dnaden@-----. I need
a bit of time to compile a list (I performed the Poulenc on my masters
recital, and have at least 10 different recordings).
