This recording features some of the most captivating songs from the fin de siecle, including the rarely heard Quatre Chansons de jeunesse of Claude Debussy. From a subtly romantic and haunting repertoire, these musical gems evoke the Age of Innocence. The nuance in these works requires a rarefied sensibility from the performers. The vividness of the sounds of oboist Bill Banovetz and pianist Barbara Lister-Sink, transports us to a place where dreams are found and the heart sings.
