[1] Noticed by Pierre Monteux, Poulet soon became recognized as one of the leading violinists of his generation and was taken on as leader of the orchester for performances by the Ballets Russes.
In 1914 he founded an eponymous string quartet with Henri Giraud (violin), Albert Leguillard (viola)et Louis Ruyssen (cello).
This orchestral series particularly featured music by young composers, and included premieres of works by Sergei Prokofiev, Florent Schmitt, Albert Roussel, André Caplet and member of groupe des Six.
With his Concerts Poulet Orchestra, he recorded with French Decca: Mendelssohn Symphony No.4 in A Op.90 “Italian”, the Introduction & Bridal procession from Rimsky-Korsakov's The Golden Cockerel (1930), Weber's overture to Euryanthe and Saint-Saens's Wedding Cake - Caprice Op.76 (with Janine Weill) (1930–31), excerpts from Stravinsky's Petrushka (with Jean Doyen) and the third and fourth songs of Mussorgsky's Songs and Dances of Death with Antoinette Tikanova.
[5] With the London Symphony Orchestra Poulet made recordings of Elizalde's Violin Concerto with the 14-year-old Christian Ferras (Decca, 1947), Spanish orchestral miniatures by Albeniz, Granados, Falla and Turina (MGM, 1953), Saint-Saens Violin Concerto No.3 in B minor Op.61 with Yehudi Menuhin (H.M.V., 1953) and orchestral works by Ravel and Fauré (M.G.M., 1953–54).
