We are familiar with the flamboyant baritone Laurent Naouri, a distinguished exponent of the four villains in Les Contes d'Hoffmann from Paris to The Metropolitan Opera New York and an unforgettable Golaud in Pelléas et Mélisande. But here it is a much more intimate Naouri, the lover of melodies by Faure, Debussy and Poulenc, who invites us to a rendezvous 'Here is a repertory I've been performing for more than thirty years, sometimes not without a certain frustration for how can you achieve the intimacy suggested by a poem like Baudelaire's Le Jet d'eau- it almost pillow talk- when the vocal style forces you to InchprojectInch the voice? Although classical art song authorizes you to sing piano or pianissimo, it's still inconceivable to whisper in the listener's ear. To whisper, you need a microphone, and there we leave the world of the melodie and enter the world of Inchchanson,Inch as that term was understood at the beginning of the radio era. I had already been thinking about these questions for a few years when I met the jazz guitarist Frederic Loiseau. We started off our collaboration with Les Berceaux, a melodie that Yves Montand had already sung in a InchchansonInch style. Encouraged by the result, we looked for other songs that we felt could benefit from this intimate treatment.Inch Album Tracks 1. Ici-Bas ! Op. 8 No. 3 2. Berceaux, Op. 23 No. 1 3.

Black Oak Ensemble, a string trio boasting three of Chicago's most enterprising and dynamic chamber musicians, makes it's recording debut with Silenced Voices, an album of intriguing works by six promising, early 20th century Jewish composers originally from Austria-Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and the Netherlands. One survived World War II as a member of the Dutch resistance, the others perished in concentration camps and elsewhere in Nazi-occupied Europe. Silenced Voices includes the world premiere recording of wartime survivor Geza Frid's early Trio a cordes, Op. 1, an inventive work infused with Hungarian folk music influences. Composer-cellist Paul Hermann's Strijktrio, a forward-looking, cosmopolitan work from the early 1920s, shares it's melodies among all three instruments. Dick Kattenburg's youthful Trio a cordes was praised in a 1938 concert review for it's Inchremarkable mastery and a very personal style.Inch Gideon Klein's Trio for violin, viola and cello is notable for it's treatment of a Moravian folk song that serves as the theme of it's middle movement. Hans Krasa's Tanec (InchDanceInch) is a five-minute whirl of dancelike episodes framed by the sonic evocation of trains. His Passagalia is more somber, with it's own train motifs, while it's companion Fuga bears shades of Germanic and Czech influences and occasional grotesque touches. Sandor Kuti's Serenade for String Trio brims with Hungarian folk music and piquant chord clusters. His Franz Liszt Academy classmate, conductor Sir Georg Solti, later proclaimed that Kuti Inchwould have become one of Hungary's greatest composers.Inch Praised for it's Inchflamboyant vitalityInch and Inchexpert performancesInch (Chicago Tribune), the Black Oak Ensemble comprises Swiss-American violinist Desiree Ruhstrat and British-born cellist David Cunliffe of the acclaimed, Grammy-nominated Lincoln Trio and French-born violis
