Damien Pass and Alphonse Cemin are long-standing collaborators who venture Into the Woods where they come across a crowd of flamboyant characters: monarchs and vagabonds; animals and supernatural creatures from Schubertian Lieder; French art songs; American musical comedies and Australian folk songs come together in this outstanding recital, captured by B Records at the Théâtre de l’Athénée Louis-Jouvet.
