Selected Songs chosen by Francois Le Roux
Exceptional singer Reynaldo Hahn (1875-1947) owes his early successes to the 'songs for voice and piano' genre, whose raison d'être he defines in his journal as follows: 'To highlight a poem, word for word but without uniformity -to emphasize its meaning without distorting it - to shine light upon one idea, obscure another and present it all in vocal, sung form - to produce a sharp, precise sensation by touching a heartstring or evoking an image - all in awell-structured and tastefully written piece'. Enhanced by an audio version attached as a download card, this anthology of songs should dispel a good many misconceptions. This is no salon miniature: L'Heure exquise radiates aninfinite tenderness, exalted by the high vocal cadences of Ô Bien-Aimée! and C'est l'heure exquise, which surely wrought tears from the author of the verses, Verlaine. Tyndaris, the jewel of Heures latines, clears a crystal-clearspace given over to the delights of slumber and of love. Like D'une prison and Cygnes, these songs do more than wet the eyes: they grip the heart.
