Work: L'Invitation au voyage

One of the Lammermuir Festival's miniature miracles: Véronique Gens and Joseph Middleton present an evening of French chansons in the East Lothian countryside. 

Heinrich Heine settings by Schumann and Schubert are counter-balanced by Duparc and Cole Porter in a Temple Song recital reflecting on night and day.

For the first Lied, we rediscover his velvet and rosewood timbre, so skilled at painting the chiaroscuro of the human soul.
