Ruisi Quartet - Visions Illuminees - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

In her third recital album for Signum Records, celebrated soprano Mary Bevan returns with a selection of French songs, featuring works by composers including Britten, Ravel, Debussy and FaureInchOver the years since the of my debut album Voyages with Joseph Middleton in 2017, my passion for French mélodie has grown and deepened... The texts that composers of mélodie have set to music contain a depth and a mystery that I find fascinating and a source of repeated inspiration... My idea for the album began sim- ply with a desire to record Britten's Les Illuminations, a work I feel closely connect- ed to, having performed it many times over the years and each time having found something new in it to interest meInch Album Tracks 1.
