Airs & mélodies by Offenbach, Hahn, Lecoq, Debussy, Gounod, Weill, Kosma, Poulenc • The harmonia nova series welcomes young artists singled out for their exceptional talents. Whether in classical mélodies, chanson or even operetta, Marie Perbost embodies the multiple ingredients of the musical discourse with incomparable sensuousness and poetry. An actress to the core, she has conceived this programme devoted to ‘a French youth’ along with her chosen partners, skilfully mixing in a few ‘hits’ with rare and precious pieces – many of them very amusing.
