FRANZ LISZT / FRANZ SCHUBERT / CLARA SCHUMANN / LILI BOULANGER
Voyage Intime
Sandrine Piau (soprano) David Kadouch (piano)
[ Alpha / CD ]
Release Date: Friday 10 February 2023
Sandrine Piau and the pianist David Kadouch have formed a new duo whose first concerts have been enthusiastically received. As is her wont, the French soprano enjoys intermingling languages and the worlds of different composers and poets around a theme; here Schubert, Liszt, Wolf and Clara Schumann rub shoulders with Lili Boulanger, Duparc and Debussy. Sandrine Piau explains: 'The promise of new horizons, the joy of new encounters: the journey in all its forms was the common thread of this recital for David and me. From the quest for a longed-for yet inaccessible elsewhere to the ultimate transition to death, it maps out our aspirations, our obstacles and the "joyous getaways" offered to us by the whirlwind of life. She quotes a beautiful poem often attributed to Pablo Neruda: 'He dies slowly who does not travel, who does not read, who does not listen to music, who does not know how to find grace in his own eyes.'
"It all adds up to a beautiful, often profoundly affecting recital, to which you will want to return again and again." Gramophone Editor's Choice March 2023
"This is a glorious collaboration, and a wonderful record...Perhaps the most jaw-droppingly effective section in pacing, flow and sheer attention of both singer and pianist to the detail of every nuance from beginning to end, are three Baudelaire settings by Debussy from the late 1880's."
