Beyond her status as an extraordinary soprano with an unmistakable voice, Mady Mesplé was a master of the art of delivery - a true diseuse. Her impeccable diction and keen sense of text blend beautifully with the poems of Hugo, Verlaine, and Gautier, which are brought to life with profound subtlety by Reynaldo Hahn’s refined music. In this collection - one of the most comprehensive ever devoted to the composer - Mady Mesplé is joined by Dalton Baldwin, one of the greatest pianists in the history of the French mélodie.
