About

With this new record, soprano Patricia Petibon makes a welcome return to French repertoire on disc, exploring the fascinating world of French art song in this extraordinary new album.

The record features all-time favourites by Satie, Fauré, Poulenc, Reynaldo Hahn, Manuel Rosenthal, but also popular hits by Léo Ferré.

This selection takes the listener on an exciting journey of discovery: from the decadence of the cabarets of turn-of-the-century Paris to the melancholy of the 60s, from the eccentricity of the fin-de-siècle to modern-day spleen.

This original program is a collection of often humorous and eccentric songs with a deeper subtext.

Petibon is joined on this occasion by her accompanist and partner of many years, the superb pianist Susan Manoff, and a number of high-profile guests stemming from diverse musical backgrounds and influences, including star violinist Nemanja Radulovic and actor Olivier Py.

This is a wonderful new release from one of DG’s key vocalists. Featuring music of exceptional variety and contrast, it showcases Petibon’s versatility and multi-faceted artistry in an intimate setting as never before, while paying homage to the great tradition of French mélodie and chanson.

Reviews

November 2014

Any guiding vision isn't tidy or clear but 'La belle excentrique' is one of Petibon's best discs so far. Early on, she's the master of Edith Piaf-style Sprechtstimme, grazing over notes, not quite alighting on any one pitch, making the vocal gesture paramount...She also spins out a lyrical vocal line as beautifully as anybody

December 2015

This delicious album has delighted me more than any other since goodness knows when...it’s perfect: it’s fun, it’s comic and it’s poignant and romantic...performed to perfection by Patricia Petibon…supported gloriously by pianist Susan Manoff.

7th March 2015

She is technically secure, and sensitive to textual nuance. There’s no shortage of fun, energy or wit. Yet sometimes she tries too hard, overkilling with self-conscious charm what should be left sweet and simple.

12th September 2014

Montmartre frivolity, Left Bank ennui: places and epochs are clearly pinpointed as Petibon’s wonderfully bright, firm voice, backed by Susan Manoff’s piano and guests of all stripes...Petibon’s 29 tracks form a beguiling tapestry, ingeniously scattered with musical flourishes that only increase the party spirit.
