For her third album on Ambronay Editions, Stéphanie d'Oustrac invites us on an intimate journey into the heart of the French melody. After Haydn and the Italian baroque, Stéphanie d'Oustrac continues her adventure with Ambronay Editions, and invites you to travel with her pianist Pascal Jourdan. in a programme built mainly around the famous works of Henri Duparc and Debussy, on poems by Charles Baudelaire and Mallarmé, but also of rarities by their contemporaries Jacques La Presles and Lili Boulanger. Reynaldo Hahn completes this recital with the melodies 'A Chloris' and 'Ma chère blessure'.
Exceptionally fine singing from Stéphanie d'Oustrac and the Jacques de la Presle [d'Oustrac's great uncle, as was Poulenc] tracks are a real find. A heavenly disc.
"So much beauty, so much perfumed languor...But never does this disc sink into dreamy sameness - and it emerges as one of the best kind to come out in recent years. The conviction, artistry and intelligent musical sequencing of mezzo-soprano Stephanie d'Oustrac and pianist Pascal Jourdan are much in evidence in this thoroughly first-class package." (Gramophone Editor's Choice January 2015)
"D'Oustrac moves between all these strikingly varied musical personalities with tremendous skill and total commitment." (The Guardian)
