Oeuvre: Puisqu'ici-bas toute âme, Op.10 no.1

Habituée de la Halle aux Grains et du répertoire français, Natalie Dessay retrouvait la salle toulousaine cette fois-ci accompagné par Laurent Naouri et par le pianiste polonais Maciej Pikulski. 

Fauré was the finest of French songwriters. Stéphane Degout and Véronique Gens shine in a full-length evening in a packed Wigmore Hall. 

One would think that either Renée Fleming or Susan Graham alone would be reason enough to sell out a large venue such as Disney Hall. But everything is bigger in Hollywood, and the LA Phil brought both artists together for a one-night recital of French art song. But even that wasn’t enough.
