About
After three extremely successful CDs of vocal music of the Middle Ages and Renaissance periods, Amarcord turns this time to the wonderful French vocal music of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. At the heart of this CD is the cycle by Jean Cras. Comparatively unknown, set aside his more illustrious contemporaries, this exquisite cycle will introduce the listener to a unique and original listening experience.
