Poulenc: 34 Mélodies Et Chansons

Suze van GrooteI is very well-known as the leading first soprano of the renowned Ensemble Camerata Trajectina (10 CDs in the current Globe catalogue!). This is her first solo CD on which she shows a remarkable affinity with the Melodies and Chansons by Francis Poulenc, the composer who is by many considered to be the greatest classical song writer of this century. Next year is also Poulenc year when it will be 100 years ago that this unique composer was born. Miss Van Grootel has the voice, the insight, the affinity and above all the natural spontaneity to bring out every aspect and detail of these wonderful songs, be it the simple charms of the Songs for Children or the heartfelt emotions of the songs on poems by Louise de Vilmorin and Louis Aragon.
