For her third album on Ambronay Editions, Stéphanie d'Oustrac invites us on an intimate journey into the heart of the French melody.

After Haydn and the Italian baroque, Stéphanie d'Oustrac continues her adventure with Ambronay Editions, and invites you to travel with her pianist Pascal Jourdan in a programme built mainly around the famous works of Henri Duparc and Debussy, on poems by Charles Baudelaire and Mallarmé, but also of rarities by their contemporaries Jacques de la Presle and Lili Boulanger. Reynaldo Hahn completes this recital with the melodies 'A Chloris' and 'La chère blessure'.

Exceptionally fine singing from Stéphanie d'Oustrac and the Jacques de la Presle [d'Oustrac's great uncle, as was Poulenc] tracks are a real find. A heavenly disc.
