Stéphanie d'Oustrac and Pascal Jourdan: a century of French melody, from Viardot to Poulenc

From Pauline Viardot to Francis Poulenc, Stéphanie d'Oustrac and Pascal Jourdan journey through a century of French music, from Romanticism to Modernism. The accompanying playlist extends this journey into the heart of melody.

Before or after the concert, this playlist offers a preview of the programme and extends the discovery of the performers beyond the stage.

The recital brings together four major figures from the repertoire: Viardot, pioneer of Romanticism and free voice of the 19th century; Jacques de La Presle, refined heir to the French school; Duparc, poet of Baudelairean fervour; and Poulenc, who closes the programme with accents combining irony and emotion.

Between the clarity of the text and the richness of the harmony, Stéphanie d'Oustrac's voice and Pascal Jourdan's piano weave an intimate dialogue.

This playlist invites you to rediscover these arias in other interpretations, as a natural extension of the stage.
