Debussy Songs - Volume 3

PRODUKTBESCHREIBUNGEN
KURZBESCHREIBUNG
Diamantene Schönheit

Die dritte Folge der Gesamteinspielung der Lieder von Claude Debussy bei HYPERION stellt die Gewinnerin des renommierten Kathleen Ferrier Awards 2014 in der Kategorie Lied vor. Jennifer France weiß mit einer atemberaubend expressiven Stimme von diamantener Schönheit zu überzeugen. Vier der hier eingespielten Lieder wurden übrigens erst kürzlich wiederentdeckt und 2012 erstmals veröffentlicht.



Hyperion presents a third volume in its acclaimed Debussy songs series, accompanied and curated by Malcolm Martineau, with booklet notes by French music expert par excellence Roger Nichols. Young soprano Jennifer France, winner of the Song Prize at the 2014 Kathleen Ferrier Awards and making her debut on the label, has a thrillingly expressive voice of diamantine beauty and is an ideal performer of these songs. Baritone Jonathan McGovern performsLe promenoir des deux amants and other songs with warm tone and great musical sensitivity.

The twenty-six songs on this recording fall into four categories: twelve on poems by Théodore de Banville; four settings of various authors, probably from 1882, but rediscovered only recently and first published in 2012; five songs on poems by Paul Bourget; and five from the years 1890 to 1910.







REZENSION
Volume 3 of Malcolm Martineau's Debussy Songs maintains the high standards of previous issues. As with volume 2, it showcases two rising yopung talents, here brightly voiced soprano Jennifer France and the warm baritone of Jonathan McGovern, both of them Kathleen Ferrier Award winners. Martineau's colour and touch are, as ever, the perfect foil for both singers. Performance **** Recording **** --BBC Music Magazine, Dec'14

Jennifer France negotiates the upper-altitude territory both with accuracy and with sensitivity to the songs' moods, with smoothness of line matching her subtlety of vocal infection. --Gramophone,Nov'14
