French Songs for Flute & Harp

A beautiful program of transcriptions for flute and harp of French songs by Debussy (1862-1918), Ravel (1875-1937) and Fauré (1855-1924). The two instruments flute and harp, with their archaic provenance, magically evoke the often bucolic atmosphere of the songs: intimate, sensual and enchanting. Included are Reveries, Beau Soir and Nuit d'étoiles by Debussy, Cinq Mélodies populaires grecques by Ravel, and popular songs by Fauré: Sicilienne, Les Berceaux, Clair de lune, Chanson d'amour, Après un rêve, En prière. Played by Andrea Manco (flute) and Stefania Scapin (harp). The original texts of the songs are included in the booklet.
