A French Songbook: Véronique Gens

Véronique Gens

Véronique Gens is one of the world’s most sought-after singers, renowned most of all for her interpretation of the French mélodie, together with American pianist Susan Manoff. We are thrilled to bring her to Oxford for the first time for a recital of songs by Gounod, Massenet, Duparc and others. An unmissable Festival highlight.

Polignac Lamento

Massenet Nuit d’Espagne, Chant provencal, Elegie

Duparc Chanson triste, La vie anterieure, Extase, Lamento

Hahn Mai, Les cygnes, Infidelite, Reverie

Offenbach Pierrette et le pot au lait, Le rat de ville et la rat de champs, Le corbeau et le renard
