Notes & Reviews:

Acclaimed countertenor Philippe Jaroussky makes the leap from the Baroque to the Belle Epoque for this program of French songs. In his company are four of the leading French instrumentalists of the younger generation: Jerome Ducros, Renaud Capucon, Gautier Capucon, and Emmanuel Pahud! With over 200,000 sales worldwide, Jaroussky is an international star, and the ethereal, sensuous beauty of his voice lends itself perfectly to the voluptuous, decadent music in these songs - including a number of rarities by composers such as Dukas, Caplet, and Chaminade, as well as better-known numbers by figures like Faure, Chausson, and Hahn.
