Yan Pascal Tortelier

Background: Mezzo-soprano Susan Graham has been called 'America's favourite mezzo' (Gramophone), the 'superb American mezzo at the peak of her powers' (The Sunday Times, London) and 'a national treasure' (Audiophile Audition). This is her CD of French orchestral songs.

'The temperature rose with the mezzo-soprano Susan Graham, a superb interpreter of French music who gave one of the most intense accounts imaginable of Ravel's Shéhérazade. Few singers sound quite so involved here … Graham spun seamless phrases with Arabian Nights-like enchantment. Her warm tone was matched by an atmospheric accompaniment from the orchestra to voluptuous effect. In Le livre de Baudelaire, John Adams' arrangements of four Debussy songs, Graham phrased with caressing lightness.' - **** The Times.
