Green | Sophie Karthäuser & Cédric Tiberghien (Ref.: CYP1664)
This disc could well have been called ‘Faces of Verlaine’, but that multiplicity is already present in its chosen title, ‘Green’. Sophie Karthäuser and Cédric Tiberghien make a loving and instinctive survey of these faces through the eyes of the myriad composers who became besotted with Verlaine’s poetry.

When Marie-Nicole Lemieux won the Queen Elisabeth Singing Competition in 1998, nobody knew she would become the contralto of her generation, and nobody knew - even if many guessed at it - that she would become one of the most versatile singers imaginable as well as a first-class tragedian.

Programmed was nothing less than Les Nuits d'été, the Wesendonck and the Rückert-lieder - three cycles of lieder counted among the most intense of the repertory.

Philippe Boesmans - Reigen (Ref.: CYP4501)
This adaptation of the play of the same name by Arthur Schnitzler marked the beginning of an intense collaboration between Boesmans and the stage producer and librettist Luc Bondy.
