Sabine Devieilhe and Alexandre Tharaud had the rare chance to perform their recital-programme "Chanson d'amour" (without audience) at the Teatro alla Scala. These extraordinary artists bring their customary clarity, finesse and insight to the works of four composers who defined the path of French art song or mélodie from the late 19th to the mid-20th century. In an imaginatively balanced recital, the two French luminaries perform Fauré, Debussy, Ravel and Poulenc. Their programme, built around Ravel’s Cinq Chansons populaires grecques and Debussy’s Verlaine setting Ariettes oubliées, takes up the themes of love, war and death and offers both favourite songs like Fauré’s ‘Après un rêve’ and some rarer treasures.
Their exquisit recital has been streamed live and is still online for 7 days on the website of Teatro alla Scala. Don't miss these treasures of French Mélodies!
