CHARLES BORDES (1863-1909): Mélodies, Vol. 2 - Pensées orientales, Profonds Cheveux, L'Hiver, Avril, Mes cheveux dorment..., 3 Mélodies, Op. 8, Chanson, Soirée d'hiver, Sur la mer, 4 Mélodies, Recueillement, Pleine mer, Le Rire, Petites fées, Amour évanoui, Paysage majeur.

Description: The second and final volume of Bordes' small mélodie output comes exactly one year after the first (11O052).  The notes here concentrate on the poets (the first volume was all-Verlaine) rather than the music, which, let us remember, comes from a composer whose two main interests were French and Italian Renaissance music and old Basque folk music. French texts. Sophie Marin-Degor (soprano), Géraldine Chauvet (mezzo), Éric Huchet (tenor), Nicolas Cavallier (bass), François-René Duchâble (piano).
