Live from Wigmore Hall: Sophie Bevan sings Berlioz and Debussy.
The acclaimed soprano offers a treat for all lovers of French song in a programme that contains two of the cornerstones of the Romantic repertoire. Berlioz's settings of his friend and neighbour, Théophile Gautier tells of love unrequited or lost, whilst Debussy's settings of Baudelaire reveal a composer coming to terms with the notorious complexities of Baudelaire's poetry in music of Wagnerian amplitude.
