Description:

Works by Saint-Saens, Chausson and Massenet! Master singer Hampson sings French songs! SACD hybrid disc. The long-awaited new recording by Thomas Hampson is now available on the PENTATONE label! Focusing on French songs, the disc includes works by composers such as Gounod, Bizet, Chausson, Massenet, and Saint-Saens. Each composer’s individuality is expressed in these beautiful works. Hampson is active not only as an opera singer but also as a lieder singer. She sings French songs with a warm, rich, and truly tasteful lyrical voice. The finely tuned piano performance by Maciej Pikulski, who has earned Hampson’s great trust, is also noteworthy. King International
