The French repertoire, from Rameau to Debussy, brought the two artists together. Now, united in their shared passion for French music, coloratura soprano Sabine Devieilhe and pianist Alexandre Tharaud perform together in this recital. The talent of these two exceptional musicians will ensure both words and music take centre-stage. This recital, based principally on poetry, shines a spotlight on the wonderful French 20th century repertoire, mixing masterpieces such as Les Ariettes oubliées by Debussy with less well-known pieces by Francis Poulenc.
