About the artist Sandrine Piau

French soprano Sandrine Piau was born in the Paris suburb of Issy-les-Moulineaux on 5th June 1965. She studied at Collège Lamartine and the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique du Paris, where she received many prizes for Chamber music and Baroque music. She initially established her reputation in Baroque repertory, most notably in the operas of Handel, but quickly branched out into the Mozart operas, scoring numerous triumphs in such roles as Pamina in Die Zauberflöte and Servilia in La Clemenza di Tito. She performs regularly with such celebrated conductors as William Christie, Philippe Herreweghe, Christophe Rousset, René Jacobs, Marc Minkowski and Fabio Biondi. Her recordings have won great critical acclaim. Her disc of Mozart Arias, accompanied by the Freiburger Barockorchester met with an extremely enthusiastic critical response and was awarded the Prix Charles Cros. Her album, Debussy Mélodies, accompanied by Jos van Imserseel, was awarded the ‘Prix Ravel’ at the Orphée Awards in Paris. Handel’s Arias Seria with Christophe Rousset and Les Talens Lyriques was awarded Editor’s Choice by Gramophone in January 2005 and won the Stanley Sadie Handel Recording Prize 2005. Sandrine Piau possesses a small but versatile and quite lovely lyric-coloratura soprano voice, consistently even in range and exuding a sense of warmth.
