‘The persistent ‘Baroque specialist’ label hardly sums up this distinguished French soprano. With her distinctively radiant, secure tone and cut-crystal upper range, her repertoire has always been much wider.’

Chimère

Works by Debussy, Poulenc, Previn, R Schumann, Wolf, Baksa, Barber, Gurney and Loewe

Sandrine Piau (soprano), Susan Manoff (piano)
