VENETIAN SONGS

ROSALIND MARTIN Soprano
ROY HOWAT Piano

From the passion of Fauré's Five Venetian Songs and the haunting beauty of Chausson's Seven Songs to the cheekiness of Poulenc's 'Banalités' and the exquisite beauty of Satie's 'Les Anges', this recital celebrates the huge variety of the French song repertoire. It also heralds the appearance of Roy Howat's and Emily Kilpatrick's brand new edition of Fauré's songs.
