La Belle Excentrique

With this 2014 release, soprano Patricia Petibon makes a welcome return to French repertoire on disc, exploring the fascinating world of French art song. It features all-time favorites by Satie, Fauré, Poulenc, Reynaldo Hahn, Manuel Rosenthal, plus popular hits by Léo Ferré. This selection takes the listener on an exciting journey of discovery: From the decadence of the cabarets of turn-of-the-century Paris to the melancholy of the 60s, from the eccentricity of the fin-de-siècle to modern-day spleen. This original program is a collection of often humorous and eccentric songs with a deeper subtext. Petibon is joined on this occasion by her accompanist and partner of many years, the superb pianist Susan Manoff, and a number of high-profile guests stemming from diverse musical backgrounds and influences, including star violinist Nemanja Radulovic and actor Olivier Py.
