Digital Booklet

"Deshayes is a mezzo of the modern kind, which is to say light and clean, with a quick, tight vibrato, splendid breath control, and marvelously fleet coloratura. She is perfect for the many Rossini roles that were written for mezzo—roles sung, just a few decades ago, by Marilyn Horne and Cecilia Bartoli. Deshayes has her own vocal personality: her low notes do not bloom as Horne’s did, and she rarely bites into the words as Bartoli does. Instead, she focuses on etching the vocal line with all the nuances of a great instrumentalist."
- Opera Today
Recognized as one of the greatest Rossini singers on the international opera scene, it's no surprise that mezzo-soprano Karine Deshayes would devote her debut solo album to the composer. Featuring excerpts from some of his most beautiful works, the programme traces the different stages of Rossini’s life and career. Deshayes is accompanied by Raphaël Merlin, cellist of the Ébène Quartet, at the head of Les Forces Majeures, a collective bringing together musicians from prestigious chamber ensembles and top-flight orchestras.
