For his second album of French song from the 19th-20th c. - following the groundbreaking 2009 Opium - countertenor Philippe Jaroussky explores settings of poems by Paul Verlaine (1844-96). Verlaine has duly inspired many French composers - from his contemporaries (Massenet, Debussy, Faure) through the following generation (Honegger) to songwriters from the 1940s-1970s (Brassens, Trenet) - all, and more, featured on this release. For Green, Philippe Jaroussky and Jerome Ducros are joined by distinguished guest artists Nathalie Stutzmann and the Ebene Quartet.
