La Belle Excentrique
With this new record, soprano Patricia Petibon makes a welcome return to French repertoire on disc, exploring the fascinating world of French art song in this extraordinary new album
The record features all-time favorites by Satie, Faure, Poulenc, Reynaldo Hahn, Manuel Rosenthal, but also popular hits by Leo Ferre
This selection takes the listener on an exciting journey of discovery: from the decadence of the cabarets of turn-of-the-century Paris to the melancholy of the 60s, from the eccentricity of the fin-de-siecle to modern-day spleen
This original program is a collection of often humorous and eccentric songs with a deeper subtext
Petibon is joined on this occasion by her accompanist and partner of many years, the superb pianist Susan Manoff, and a number of high-profile guests stemming from diverse musical backgrounds and influences, including star violinist Nemanja Radulovic and actor Olivier Py
This is a wonderful new release from one of DGs key vocalists. Featuring music of exceptional variety and contrast, it showcases Petibons versatility and multi-faceted artistry in an intimate setting as never before, while paying homage to the great tradition of French melodie and chanson
