A ratos íntimo y a ratos valiente concierto de Natalie Dessay, a medio camino entre el lied y la mélodie francesa

Du bist die Ruh' (Tú eres la calma)… con el Lied de Schubert in memóriam de las víctimas del accidente aéreo en los Alpes franceses horas antes, Natalie Dessay, acompañada por Philippe Cassard, comenzó emocionada su recital de debut en A Coruña.

Hier soir à la Philharmonie, la rencontre miraculeuse d’une distribution de très haut vol et d’un public aussi nombreux qu’attentif nous prouvait que les Liebeslieder avaient encore de beaux jours devant eux.
