About This Performance

Acclaimed for her clear and deeply expressive voice, nuanced phrasing, and immaculate control, French soprano Sandrine Piau debuts with PCMS in an art song recital showcasing another side of one of the most famous singers in the Baroque music world. “Her singing has a wonderful, uncomplicated directness, utterly free of mannerisms or affectation” (The Guardian).
