[Motskov1000]

Et l'auteur du poème ? Il s'appelait Maurice Bouchor.

I think she is perfect for Poème.

The gods of Walhalla knows how i adore Miss Norman, how i respect her, how many times she has make flood my tears: Adieu foret, Dialogue des Carmelites, La voix humaine, etc. But Chausson, even moments of madness for Wagner, is a french, his wagnerian influence became impressionist, so i feel his works are not little tetralogies and mus'nt be sung, specially this one, like Brunilhda. The strong wnderful Norman voice sound a quite excesive , cause Chausson is sweeter, softer, "frencher"...

[pslogge]

impressive!

[svanirlevoci]

The all time greatest recording of chausson's masterpiece. Norman is divine, Jordan celebrates the flourishing melancholy of the work. A great moment in recording history.
