Darynn Zimmer
Oiseau Bleu
NA078

melodies Francaises de Jules Massenet (1842-1912), Louis Beydts (1895-1953), Maurice Delage (1879-1961) et Charles Gounod (1818-1893); Darynn Zimmer, soprano, with Gait Sirguey, piano, and Solisti New York, Ransom Wilson, conductor.

This imaginatively crafted recital of rarely heard French melodies places Zimmer in the forefront of emerging young American sopranos.

--Classical Pulse!

This collection of lesser known French art songs of the fin-de-siecle era presents the startlingly pure voice of Darynn Zimmer within piano and chamber orchestra settings. Poems of love, of nature, of despair, celebration and whimsy. This recital was created to evoke a world that had not yet fully become modern.

The voice is unusually pure and forceful.

--Classical CD
