petite MORT

Works by Alban Berg, Gabriel Fauré, Samuel Barber, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Francis Poulenc and Joaquín Turina

Natalia Labourdette, Soprano

Victoria Guerrero, Piano

Natalia Labourdette (soprano) and Victoria Guerrero (piano) make up an internationally award-winning art song duo that has released its debut CD on GENUIN. The tracklist includes 20th-century vocal music based around the experience of "la petite mort", as the French language refers to the climax of lovemaking. "La petite mort": this is an existential experience, the desire to "linger", deep loneliness, and happy union! Alban Berg, Gabriel Fauré, Samuel Barber, and other great composers of classical modernism created miniature masterpieces – and the two young musicians dedicate themselves to this repertoire with a great sense of tonal color and interpretive clarity!
