Le sentiment amoureux est sans doute à l’origine des plus beaux chefs-d’oeuvre de la musique. De la douceur de l’éveil sentimental à la passion qui nous emporte, en passant par la langueur mélancolique, la musique classique a toujours su dire l’amour.De Bach à Ravel, de la grâce mozartienne à l’exaltation de Liszt, sans oublier les airs d’opéra emblématiques de Donizetti ou Puccini, Radio Classique en partenariat avec Warner Classics a réuni dans ce double album les plus belles émotions de nos rêves d’amour.Avec Philippe Jaroussky, Renaud Capuçon, Gautier Capuçon, Alexandre Tharaud, Lucienne Renaudin Vary, Thibaut Garcia, Sabine Devielhe, Natalie Dessay, Elsa Dreisig…Rêves d’amour : Les plus belles émotions amoureuses en musique. "Les plus belles émotions amoureuses en musique".

Following their Linn debut, a "breathtaking album of songs by Gustav and Alma Mahler" (The Herald), Karen Cargill and Simon Lepper return to fin-de-siècle Europe for a recital of songs by the "crème de la crème" of late nineteenth-century French speaking composers. Entitled "Fleur de mon âme", the album embraces the sensual soundworld of Hahn, Debussy, Chausson, Jongen and Duparc.

On February 11, we will have the pleasure of discovering Psyché, the first solo album by the young and talented mezzo-soprano Ambroisine Bré. For this first opus, which will be released by 440Hz, she surrounds herself with the fine flower of young French musicians: pianist Ismaël Margain, flautist Mathilde Calderini, harpist Anaïs Gaudemard, tenor Julien Dran and the Hanson Quartet. Without forgetting the participation of Gérard Depardieu!

This is sublime: quite simply the finest registration of 17th century English song on the market. It’s one of those perfectly designed programmes, which have all the built-in variety you need for over an hour’s uninterrupted listening pleasure. There is plenty here for the casual listener and connoisseur alike and, despite the title, the introspective mood is upliftingly beautiful throughout. The scholarly preparation which makes this possible, and the clear sense that these interpretations have been honed, through regular performance, are what we’ve come to expect from the brilliantly successful partnership of Dutch soprano and the lutenist… An outstanding achievement on every front.
