About

“The remarkable life of Paul Verlaine, one of the most widely read French poets, was our reason for embarking on an intense concert tour through Flanders in 2020.

“His immortal poetry served as a rich source of inspiration for composers such as Claude Debussy, Gabriel Fauré and Reynaldo Hahn.

“Our concert programme with his wonderfully beautiful poems in colourful musical settings from the late 19th century fin-de-siècle and later Impressionism became so close to our hearts that we took the decision to immortalise it on CD.”

– Werner van Mechelen & Florestan Bataillie

Werner Van Mechelen has a great predilection for the song repertoire, performing not only the great cycles by Schubert, Schumann and Brahms, but also many works outside the usual repertoire. Pianists with whom he has collaborated include Jozef de Beenhouwer, Lucas Blondeel, Florestan Bataillie and Eric Schneider.

Florestan Bataillie is much in demand as a freelance artist whose appearances include concerts with the Spectra Ensemble and the Flanders Symphony Orchestra.
