Verlaine and Rimbaud: Laurence and Sylvie De Cramer

Paul Verlaine and Arthur Rimbaud form one of the most intriguing duos in French literary history. In this recital, their words are given a new dimension through intimate melodies, refined art songs, and contemporary settings by, among others, Fauré, Debussy, and Britten. The listener travels from the dreamy atmosphere of Fêtes galantes to the hallucinating images of Illuminations. A compelling recital in which poetry and music reinforce each other. Met Laurence Servaes (soprano) and Sylvie Decramer (piano) Concert in collaboration with the Koninklijke Pietstautkring
