About This Item
Soprano Sabine Devieilhe's signature operatic role, Lakmé, forms the starting point for her enticing albumMirages. A collection of opera and song in French, it's theme is the exotic allure of faraway - and imagined - places and people. In addition to three numbers from Delibes' opera, it features music by Berlioz, Debussy and Stravinsky and some rarer names Thomas, Messager, Koechlin and Delage. Devieilhe is joined by mezzo-soprano Marianne Crebassa, pianist Alexandre Tharaud and the period-instrument orchestra Les Siècles under it's founder, François-Xavier Roth. Album Tracks 1.
